WildAlert is Coming to Florida
WildAlert will be implemented in support of activities currently conducted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI). The Florida WildAlert platform, which is an event-based wildlife disease surveillance tool, is being developed through a partnership between the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Wild Neighbors Database Project, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California - Davis, and EpiEcos and will be launched in early 2025.
WildAlert Tracking a Botulism Health Event
WildAlert California is actively tracking a botulism health event that is taking place at Lake Tulare in California. The WildAlert system highlighted this event early on, allowing state, federal, and non-governmental partners to collaborate and take immediate action to save more wild lives.
Arizona WildAlert
We are excited to announce that The Wild Neighbors Database Project has recently been awarded a grant contract to create a WildAlert platform specific to the state of Arizona. This system, in partnership with the University of California, Davis and EpiEcos, will be created and launched by September 2024.
Crowdfunding Our Wildlife Disease Alert System
We need your help to improve, build and update the Wildlife Morbidity and Mortality Event Alert System (WMMEAS). In case you are not aware, the WMMEAS is a surveillance platform we are developing to track wildlife diseases using data from wildlife rehabilitators and wildlife veterinarians.
