City Wildlife

Our Mission

City Wildlife was created to address the increasing conflict between wild animals and people in Washington, DC. Over the past several decades, local wildlife habitat has been severely depleted, and wild animals have had to adapt to living in close proximity with people. Each year hundreds of wild animals in DC are unintentionally harmed by people and the urban environment.

Our mission is the protection of wildlife, and wildlife habitats, in the metro Washington DC region.

Our goals are:

To manage a rescue center to assist sick, orphaned, and injured wild animals and return the to the wild; To promote the enjoyment of native wildlife and harmonious co-existence with wild animals; and To protect the District of Columbia’s wild places for animal habitats.
