One mission · four projects · one network

The Wild Neighbors Database Project ecosystem

Every platform we build feeds the same growing body of wildlife health knowledge, and draws from it. Together they turn daily care into shared intelligence.

How it fits together

From one patient to the whole picture

Collect → share → detect → protect. Better decisions flow back to the people caring for wildlife.

How the pieces fit

Three steps from care to protection

1 · Collect

Care is recorded once, the same way

WRMD, OWRMD and Ceto give wildlife rehabilitators, responders and stranding teams systems built for their work, and a shared standard.

2 · Detect

The network is watched around the clock

WildAlert compares incoming case counts with expected patterns by species or taxonomic group, clinical classification, location, and time. Unusual increases are flagged for review.

3 · Protect

People act on what the data shows

Agencies, researchers, and participating organizations can use these signals to support investigation and response.

Want your organization on the network?

WRMD is available to wildlife rehabilitators at little to no cost and it's ready in minutes. Agencies and research partners? We'd love to talk!
