For researchers & agencies

Decades of wildlife health data. One front door.

Depth, breadth, continuity, and credibility — built from years of wildlife health data across the network.

Working with the data

Built for collaboration

Data access

How collaboration works

Collaboration is project- and fee-based and depends on staff availability. We scope the data together, agree on terms that protect contributing organizations, and deliver de-identified, analysis-ready extracts.

For agencies

Monitoring & decision support

WildAlert already serves wildlife agencies in seven states with near real-time monitoring. We can bring it to yours.

Ethics

Data stewardship principles

Records belong to the organizations that create them. We share in aggregate, credit the collectors, and never sell the data.

What's in the data

Standardized, longitudinal, global

Clinical records collected the same way across thousands of organizations, year after year. This is the kind of dataset that is nearly impossible to assemble any other way.

  • Species and taxa, across birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians
  • Intake circumstances of admission
  • Clinical findings and exam data
  • Diagnoses and conditions
  • Outcomes: release, transfer, death
  • Date and available location for every record
  • 13+ years of continuous collection
  • Standardized across 2,500+ organizations
  • 50+ countries and every U.S. state
