For the latest episode of New Wild Review, four-fifths of Humboldt Wildlife Care Center’s clinic staff got together in February to talk about our Humane Solutions program – a backstage unfiltered eavesdrop as we talk about our work, our frustrations and some of the misconceptions about our wild neighbors that work against peaceful co-existence…
The discussion took off, lasting much longer than expected. In this epsiode, part one of our staff roundtable discussion, featuring Lucinda Adamson, Nora Chatmon, and Brooke Brown, we cover many of the frustrations – next episode the meaning, the awe and the victories – coming soon, the second half, in S2E3…
We hope you enjoy this discussion and remember! – our successful work keeping wild families together comes from your support! Thank you!

In our latest episode of New Wild Review we look at the sudden changes the global pandemic caused by the outbreak of coronavirus disease – 19. As states, counties and municipalities move to slow the spread of the virus, through shelter in place orders and social distancing, essential services, including wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, continue. How does the pandemic effect our work? How will the pandemic effect wildlife? We don’t know. But we can ponder it while we work.

Hi Friends and Lovers of the Wild,
Back in January, I posted a story on our facebook page concerning a study of the Common Murre (Uria aalge) die off that occured in the Eastern Pacific Ocean the the Fall/Winter/Spring of 2015/2016. It’s a sad story about the deaths of a million of these remarkable seabirds.
Immediately after posting the story I got a message from a friend and fellow animal rescuer in the Los Angeles area:
“It all seems so heartbreakingly pointless doesn’t it? We’re busting our asses saving one animal at a time and the whole f*****g planet is on the brink of extinction. If we don’t blow ourselves up in another war first.”
I felt that her despair was real and very familiar. So I wanted to address it without relying on platitudes… It became the instigator of our second podcast for our newy launched Bird Ally X: New Wild Review.
It’s a 29 minute “meditation” on our current world and the inevitable nature of despair. No answers are offered, but I hope that those of you in this field who feel hopeless at times are at least offered a branch to cling to…
As always, if you like our content and appreciate our work, please support us.
Thank you for your love of the Wild, and your support of Bird Ally X,
Monte Merrick
