REHABILITATION
Rehabilitation is a managed process where a displaced, sick, injured or orphaned wild animals regain the health and skills they require to function normally and live self-sufficiently. This may sound simple, but requires a challenging and staggering amount of coordinated effort. This can require capture, transport, assessment, examination, treatment, medical and physical therapy, feeding, cleaning, watching, teaching, and the preparation of the animal for safe release. Our wildlife rehabilitation specialist, along with dedicated volunteers work to treat injured or orphaned wild animals and release them back to their natural habitat. All services provided by Great Basin are free of charge, although donations are deeply and gratefully accepted. This is all non-profit and completely supported by private donations.

SOURCES AND RESCUE
Great Basin receives hundreds of animals every year. We work closely with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources as well as local, state, and Federal agencies. Animals are brought to Great Basin by the public, DWR, county animal services and even the Highway Patrol.

THE PEOPLE
At all hours all year, you can find our rehabilitation specialist and volunteers feeding, giving medications, changing bandages, and traveling to injured animals. Every detail you can imagine is given by dedicated volunteer effort. Even local Veterinary care is given by donation of an incredible and wonderful staff of people. As well as rehabilitation care, Great Basin works to provide public education programs that encourage empathy, respect and protection for wildlife and our environment.

REGULATORY AGENCIES
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources mission is to serve the people of Utah as trustee and guardian of the state's wildlife. They and regional, state, and federal agencies are charged with managing and protecting wildlife, often a thankless task. Without the support of the DWR, Great Basin Wildlife would not exist.

DONORS
Without generous contributions of time, supplies and money, wildlife rehabilitation would cease to exist, as well as millions of animals losing their lives. Donors are often the unseen and unsung hero's. Eagle Scout projects have provided needed cages, and Dedicated hunters have provided deep and appreciated help
