Problem: Today, wildlife projects in many countries around the world remain on-hold or uncompleted due to lack of funding or
professional infrastructure to effectively study free ranging wildlife resources.
Solution: International Wildlife Health Institute commitment is to
implement and complete practical and relevant wildlife projects in collaboration with Takaari Expeditions and the host country’s natural
resource managers and their objectives. Unlike many wildlife organizations, IWHI sponsors projects from the “field level” supporting projects
dependant on external funding from the bottom up.
Problem: Many wildlife foundations have millions of dollars in special funds for imperiled species, yet the world’s leading wildlife
experts lack basic funding for vital field projects important in the conservation of those species.
Solution: IWHI and Takaari propose to bypass the
political process of fund allocation through direct contact with the wildlife veterinarians and biologists in the field. This allows us to fully
fund or supplement governmental budgets from the ground up in order to allow projects to go forward.
Problem: The current environmental health problems are in a large part due to effects of humans. Humans have an extraordinary capacity to modify the physical world. When biodiversity is lost, species compositions are disturbed, and ecological processes are disrupted, serious health implications arise
Solution: IWHI understands the interconnections of species and the complexity of ecological health problems. Working to reinforce that people must live and thrive in the ecosystems they share with their natural heritage and environments allows IWHI to provide a bridge for healthy ecosystems worldwide as we move into the new century.
