The Hawaii Wildlife Center treats endangered animals for problems ranging from bodily injuries to poisonings.
/Gray News) - The Hawaii Wildlife Center cares for critical species ― native birds and bats that come to the Big Island animal hospital either sick or injured.
The need to rehabilitate injured animals has grown by leaps and bounds. The center also takes in patients from Midway and Kure atolls, two ring-shaped reefs located in the Pacific Ocean. “Our happiest moment is when we release them back into the wild and they fly away without looking back. Then we know we’ve done what we needed to do to get them back out,” Elliott said.
Its small staff receives help from volunteers and veterinarians statewide who assist with medical treatment and transportation.
