BWRC Wildlife Videos
Take a look and learn more about BWRC, wildlife and ways to contribute to their protection! BWRC has produced several videos over the years with the help of Film maker Daniel Velasquez. We hope to tell our patients’ stories to educate humans on how to care for and protect wildlife (and we also have some older videos of some of our undergraduate student courses. Note that many videos were produced prior to BWRC’s move to larger facilities in 2017 and we hope to soon do a proper video introduction to the new facilities and a 2020 update. But until then our Facebook and Instagram pages will give you more info, including some short videos on the current patients and events.
