Global Wildlife Resources (GWR) is a progressive company founded by veterinarian Dr. Mark Johnson which specializes in humane and respectful capture and handling of captive and free-ranging wildlife animals.
In his blog, Dr. Mark and his colleagues share their stories, tools, techniques, protocols, and attitudes to improve animal care, efficiency in the field, and success as a wildlife or zoo professional. Dr. Mark encourages us to learn from every animal, every capture event, and every colleague. As he assists with field captures or teaches a chemical immobilization course he also gathers new practical tools and ways for improving our chemical capture skill and field experience and shares them with you.
Some of his recent articles include:
Is it safe to drug black bears with BAM?
ALWAYS Use a Headcover with Every animal – or Should We?
The Value of Post-Capture Self-Assessment
