Louisiana Wildlife Rehabilitators Association

Louisiana Wildlife Rehabilitators Association Wildlife Rehabilitators are at the forefront of the Wildlife Conservation movement.

The Louisiana Wildlife Rehabilitators Association (LAWRA), incorporated in 1997 as a 501(c)(3) conservation-minded non-profit, supports Louisiana's wildlife and provides resources and assistance for wildlife rehabilitators. LAWRA is comprised of wildlife rehabilitators, veterinarians, conservationists, and other professionals from around Louisiana, all committed to restoring the health, ensuring t

he welfare, and safeguarding the future of Louisiana's wildlife. Our efforts to save endangered and threatened species through injured and orphaned wildlife rehabilitation programs directly assist state and federal agencies, as well as conservation and environmental organizations, in that species' continued survival. Wildlife rehabilitation provides unique insights into issues affecting wildlife populations, species and habitats, and contributes to wildlife conservation and protection worldwide.

The LSU School of Veterinary Medicine Wildlife Hospital has received two gifts to further its work on behalf of wildlife in Louisiana.

Richard P. Sivicek has established the LSU SVM Wildlife Support Fund with a gift of $100,000. The fund will provide additional student training opportunities within the school’s Wildlife Hospital by funding treatment, nutrition, and sustenance of injured and resident wildlife receiving treatment.

Susan Belt has made a $10,000 gift to the Wildlife Hospital of LA Support Fund. Dr. Belt is a 1998 graduate of the LSU SVM. She owns the Reynolds Road Animal Clinic in Bryant, Arkansas.

The LSU SVM Wildlife Hospital cares for injured animals brought to us for treatment. The goal is to treat and rehabilitate these animals so that they can be released back into the wild. The hospital receives approximately 1,200 wildlife cases each year with a successful release rate of 40 percent.
