What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Educational Programs
People living in urban Florida rarely have the opportunity to learn about our natural world. As environmental issues become more critical, the need for awareness and education becomes more important as well. Since 1981, the staff of the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary has introduced the fascinating wonders of Florida’s natural ecosystems and wildlife to tens of thousands of people each year. Children and adults alike find the Sanctuary’s programs to be informative, entertaining, and extremely educational, offering a wonderful experience in learning about nature and wildlife.
Wildlife Rehabilitation
The Busch Wildlife Sanctuary’s wildlife rescue and rehabilitation program provides comprehensive medical care to over 5,000 sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals each year. The ultimate goal of the Sanctuary’s rehabilitation efforts is to return recovered patients to their natural habitats so they can become an integral part of the environment once again. Nearly 90% of the animals treated at the Sanctuary’s wildlife hospital have suffered from some type of human related injury, which include collisions with automobiles, fishing line entanglement, illegal gun shots, electrocutions, poisonings, attacks by dogs and cats, and many more.
