Testimonials

"The CWR concept summarizes a very nice collection of skills. I've been working as a veterinarian in wildlife rehabilitation for 18 years and can confidently say that the CWR materials provide a great tool kit presented in a concise and easily understandable form, tailor made for wildlife rehabilitation. And I hope many people in wildlife rehabilitation will make use of this source. " -Ulrike Streicher

CWR™

A program administered by IWRC

Certified Wildlife Rehabilitator (CWR™) is a designation which recognizes current wildlife rehabilitators who achieve a higher standard of wildlife care through academic excellence. Completion of the CWR™ certificate is not equivalent to licensure as a wildlife rehabilitator. Requirements for designation as a licensed wildlife rehabilitator vary greatly by geographical region. Check with your local issuing body for additional requirements.
