22 baby raccoons means 22 baby raccoon mouths to feed! The wildlife rehabilitators at Millstone Wildlife Center didn’t know how they were going to feed all those hungry babies at once! Humans just don’t have enough hands! But these honorary Earth Rangers came up with a genius idea! You won’t believe it until you see it.
Special thanks to our friend Frannie Greenberg, Millstone Wildlife Center in Windham, NH, and all the adorable raccoons.
Millstone Wildlife Center
Millstone Wildlife Center sure is a busy place. Not only do they help rehabilitate injured or orphaned mammals, but they also work hard to teach the public about living peacefully with wildlife. And don’t forget their educational programs for students (of all ages)! Even though Millstone has a TON on their to-do list, everything gets done with the help of their amazing volunteer staff members. When others are there to help, absolutely anything is possible, Earth Rangers. Way to go, Millstone Wildlife Center. Keep up the excellent work!
You see that beaver? That’s me, Bo! But I’m not just your average rescue beaver. There’s something special about me: I only have ONE EYE! It’s not always easy to see, but that doesn’t stop me from doing all kinds of beaver things! That’s because honorary Earth Ranger Alexis is here to help!
Special thanks to our friend Alexis Broz (and Bo) from Wild for Life Inc. Rescue and Rehabilitation.
Wild for Life Inc. Rescue and Rehabilitation
Wild for Life Inc. is a special kind of rehabilitation center. It’s not just a place where animals can go to physically get better, but also a place for them to feel safe as they recover and get ready for a return to the wild. Whether it’s an injured bird, a sick squirrel, or a beaver like Bo, the Wild for Life team is ready to come to the rescue of animals in need.
Along with saving animals, Wild for Life Inc. also believes in conservation, education, and helping to preserve ecosystems. Earth Rangers is so proud of the great work they’re doing!
Maverick the box turtle showed up at BeWild Reptile rescue with a tiny scratch on his foot, but his rescuers soon discovered he had another problem — a big messy one! His shell was completely stuffed with mud and dirt. How was it all fitting in there? Shouldn’t his shell be filled with, ya’ know, turtle? Earth Ranger Emma is determined to solve the mystery, but just when she thinks she’s cracked the case, something really wild happens!
Special thanks to our friend Nicole D’Avignon (and Maverick) at BeWild Reptile Rescue in Durham, NC.
Phoebe the merlin falcon broke her wing and it didn’t heal right. Now it hurts whenever she tries to fly. But don’t worry — some honourary Earth Rangers have a plan to help…LASERS! Pew! Pew! Special thanks to our friends at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary. This story is made by Earth Rangers and for Earth Rangers – people who love animals and want to help them.
Special thanks to Dr. Heather Johnston and our friends at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jupiter, Florida. Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is a nonprofit that runs completely on donations to keep their doors open.
Busch Wildlife Sanctuary
The Busch Wildlife Sanctuary has been saving animals in Florida for decades. Since 1983, the kind folks at the Sanctuary have been taking in injured, orphaned, and sick wildlife…and boy, have they been busy! In an average year, they help thousands of animal patients rest, recover, and, in most cases, return to the wild where they belong.
Along with saving lives, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary prides itself on educating the public about conservation. Guess what? Like Earth Rangers, they have animal ambassadors that help to teach people about protecting and preserving wildlife and nature!
We’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ for saving animals and the environment, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary!
When heroes and honorary Earth Rangers from Seal Rescue Ireland saved Spruce, the baby seal, they were worried that he’d never grow big enough to go back to the wild. But Spruce was determined! And after months of fish school, heated bath mats, and one… giant green brain…Spruce was finally ready to go home to where he belongs: the wild ocean!
Special thanks to our friends at Seal Rescue Ireland, Wexford, Ireland.
Seal Rescue Ireland
Seal Rescue Ireland is the only seal rescue in the Republic of Ireland, so the work they do is absolutely vital. With the help of over 600 volunteers, they monitor more than 3,100 km of coastline. They’re on the lookout for seals that are sick or injured, as well as pups that have been orphaned.
When volunteers find a seal in need, they take it to the Seal Hospital, where it’s nursed back to health. Some seals need to rest and recover for weeks, sometimes months! But the team is ready for it. They monitor each one until they are ready to be released back into the wild.
Seal Rescue Ireland isn’t just a friend to seals, but to all ocean life. Through education and community outreach, Seal Rescue Ireland encourages people to learn about marine conservation and sustainability. All of that hard work makes them honorary Earth Rangers in our books!
