Excited to announce that WildeCheetah is getting a specialty dental extension- all in partnership with Cheetah Conservation Fund & The Dental Coalition for Conservation! 🐆🦷🌍

🐆 The Cheetah Conservation Fund is the world’s largest organisation dedicated to cheetah conservation. In fact they have over 120 cheetahs being rehabilitated at their centre- all rescued from the illegal wildlife trade. You’ll also be joined by Founder Dr. Laurie Marker on this mission- a rare opportunity to learn from one of the world’s top cheetah conservationists!

🦷 DCC is an international group of board-certified specialist dentists who volunteer their time & expertise to wildlife in need all around the world- often giving the animals we all love a second chance at life. We absolutely cannot wait for to work with them in the field!

🌍 On this mission, explore why dental health plays such an important role in the overall health and long-term wellbeing of one of the world’s most iconic species. Work with veterinary teams, assist with food prep, support routine health checks, and get an inside look at the rehabilitation process.

❤️‍🩹 While particularly suited to dental and veterinary professionals, this extension of WildeCheetah is open to anyone 18+ with a genuine passion for wildlife conservation. No specialist background required!

🐾 Our next Wilde Tracks mission is:
October 30-November 8, 2027 | Somaliland

We’re so excited to officially welcome ZEW Club Zoo, Exotic Pet, and Wildlife Medicine club at VMCVM at RossVetSchool to the Wilde Tracks family! 🌎🩺🐾

ZEW gives future veterinarians the opportunity to explore zoo, exotic & wildlife medicine beyond the classroom- and now, they’re taking that learning into the field with us.

Over the next year, ZEW Club will join us on 3 Wilde Tracks missions, gaining hands-on experience in conservation and veterinary work along the way.

We’re honored to be part of their conservation & veterinary journey, and we can’t wait to see what’s ahead. 💚

Welcome to the Pack, ZEW Club! 🩺

Happy World Gorilla Day to the forest’s unofficial gardeners, seed spreaders, and ecosystem caretakers. 🦍🌍🌿

Gorilla conservation has taught us that humans share roughly 98% of DNA with gorillas. This fact makes gorillas a pretty good reminder of something conservation has been telling us for years- forest health, wildlife health, and human health are all connected.

That’s what we love about conservation- the more you look, the more you realise nothing exists on its own. You impact one, you affect the other.

And yes, you can come see it for yourself.

🧡 Come meet the forest, the people protecting it, and the gorillas calling it home.

🐾 That’s WildeUganda.

Join us for Rhino Week as we get closer to the teams doing the work to save these chubby unicorns! 🦄🦏✨

The data is clear, and the reality on the ground demands action. Right now, proactive horn trimming is one of the most effective tools conservation teams have to help keep these gentle giants safe before a crisis even starts.

But behind that work are vast teams of veterinary professionals, conservationists, pilots, rangers, and local experts putting in the hours- from tracking rhinos across the bush to safely carrying out the procedures that can give them a better chance of making it home. 🌍🐾🌿

This is what conservation looks like on the ground.

World Rhino Day is coming up, but we’re making it Rhino Week! 🦏❤️✨

A whole week to look beyond the headlines and into the hard data, real threats, and conservation work behind saving a species.

Many people ask if the veterinary procedure of trimming rhinos’ horns (dehorning) really works. The peer-reviewed answer is a resounding yes.

🔬A massive 7-year study published in the journal Science in 2025 evaluated 11 major wildlife reserves, and found that horn trimming gives rhinos an incredible shield against poaching. By trimming a rhino’s horn, an individual rhino’s long-term, 10-year chance of survival jumps from a devastating 25% all the way up to 94%.

🌍 The horn is just keratin (like our fingernails) and it safely grows back- but this simple, preventative veterinary procedure is giving them a chance at a long and peaceful life!
