Welcome to Wild About Wildlife Month
We're dedicating this month to celebrating the wonderful wild animals who share our home. Throughout July, we’re excited to highlight the lifesaving work of our Project Wildlife program and the important role that San Diego Humane Society plays in preserving the incredible biodiversity of our region.
For more than 50 years, Project Wildlife has rescued and rehabilitated injured, sick or orphaned wild animals in San Diego. What started as a backyard, volunteer-led effort has transformed into one of the largest, most impactful wildlife rehabilitation programs in the country — featuring two dedicated facilities, nationally leading standards of care and a team of wildlife medical experts and rehabilitation specialists.
At our Pilar & Chuck Bahde Wildlife Center and our Ramona Wildlife Center, wildlife of all shapes and sizes receive a second chance to thrive — from songbirds and skunks to bears and bobcats.
This month, we invite you to follow along on social media as we delve into the world of wildlife rehabilitation and share daily content you won’t want to miss, from extraordinary stories of rescue and resilience to fascinating facts about local wildlife. We are Wild About Wildlife — and hope you will be, too, after learning more about this important and intriguing area of our work!

Project Wildlife Stories
Twice each year, in one of nature’s most amazing events, billions of birds make enormous and hazardous journeys from their breeding grounds to wintering areas. Some travel as much as 25,000 miles every year, from the high Arctic to the tip of South America and back. Of the more than 500 bird species found in San Diego, almost 2/3 of them migrate into or out of the area every spring and fall. Join avid birder Stan Walens, who has collected almost 40 years of data on seabird populations in San Diego, talk about how the fascinating process of migration works and the benefits and problems it presents.
Join Project Coyote Ranching with Wildlife Coordinator, Keli Hendricks, for a lively presentation about coexisting with coyotes. Topics will include coyote safety, education, and programs and resources available to help residents and communities better understand and coexist with our wild neighbors.
Dive into the wild and wonderful images of wildlife captured through San Diego River Park Foundation's camera monitoring program.
It’s that time of year again, baby season! Each year, San Diego Humane Society’s Project Wildlife takes in up to 13,000 orphaned and injured wild animals with the hopes of returning them to their native habitats.
