The Power of Experience

This month, our donation is in honor of the 40+ years of animal rescue and the legacy of the founder of Wildlife Aid, Simon Cowell. Recently diagnosed with aggressive and terminal Lung Cancer, Simon’s dying wish is to raise the funds to allow his expert team to continue their work and mission without him.

For over forty years, Wildlife Aid has been one of the UK’s busiest wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centers with over 20,000 wildlife-related incidents each year. The work of their veterinarians and over 300 volunteers is 24/7 job. They perform life-saving surgeries, nurse and rehab injured and infant animals, get stranded animals to safety – and so much more. They also inspire and inform the public with popular outreach and education programs that teach people the actions needed to create a safer world for wild animals – especially those in close proximity to humans. For sixteen years, the TV program ‘Wildlife SOS’ followed Simon as he traveled extensively, reporting on the plight of wildlife, across the world.

The next phase of Wildlife Aid will include twenty acres of land in Surrey for a wildlife corridor with vital habitats, a visitor center, a world-class wildlife hospital, and a rehabilitation center three times the size of their current premises.
