Hi Everyone. We at Pacific Wildlife are broke. We will have no money left for fish by the end of next week. IGNITE and PACFIC WILDLIFE are asking for your help! ANY AMOUNT of money you can donate will help. The Pelicans need your help. I need your help. All of our Federal Funding has totally dried up. Hardly anyone donates money anymore. Mother Theresa is dead. Now, it’s our turn! Help us out!

- Zoli

First, let me thank you for your interest in Pacific Wildlife Project and the opportunity to show your support. Second, let me give you some background on Pacific Wildlife Project as it has so deeply impacted my life. My brother and I have been involved with Pacific Wildlife Project since we were teenagers. It inspired him to go into animal sciences, and he is now acting medical director for Pacific Wildlife in addition to being a professor of animal science at the University of Nevada. It inspired me to continue volunteering and to be a community advocate for Pacific Wildlife and the marine life in Orange County. Pacific Wildlife needs help more now than ever. They operate solely on volunteer basis and survive from donations by concerned citizens like you.

Background

The Pacific Wildlife project is a “grass roots” organization incorporated in 1985 by citizens, veterinarians, and biologists who saw a need for community education and expert support in interactions with neighboring wildlife and wild lands. With a commitment to a humane ethic, the Project seeks to help wildlife in a wide range of communities by providing a haven and hospice for injured or displaced wild animals and through the education of and hands-on involvement by the community members to further its conservation and humane goals.

Since its inception, Pacific Wildlife Project has been a leading force in wildlife protection. As one of the only facilities in the area to provide respite for all wild species, our award winning organization has been a primary resource for citizens and agencies.  The Pelican Paramedic Program is an active rescue effort established to come to the aid of injured and suffering seabirds along the Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego County coastline, with a focus on endangered California brown Pelicans.

Funding Help in 2007

Pacific Wildlife is not funded by any government agency and they rely on private donations and grants in order to continue this much needed community service. They are a grass roots organization staffed by volunteers. Donated services and supplies help keep operating costs low.  Nearly 100% of donation dollars are committed to direct patient rescue and care costs.

This year has been especially challenging for the birds rescued. During the past months, hundreds of young California brown Pelicans have struggled to survive with scarce food supplies as they arrive from the breeding colonies. The starving birds suffer additional injuries through direct confrontations with competing anglers and their deadly hooks and lines carelessly left behind. These and other seabirds face horrible fates including death, if not rescued and treated. The Pelican Paramedics Project volunteers perform missions of mercy as they locate and rescue these birds in peril and bring them to sanctuary care.

Pacific Wildlife’s rescue team is the only such organized effort in the region. They are dedicated, trained and capable volunteers. An unprecedented 90% of rescues recover from their injuries and are able to be returned to the wild. Community support is a vital element in the rescue and care program and your donation helps to make the survival of many of these magnificent birds possible.

Operating Budget

Pacific Wildlife is respectfully requesting funds in the amounts outlined in the attached budgets. Donated funds would be used for the refurbishment of the distressed caging and emergency infirmary and for support of the Wildlife Care and Pelican Paramedics Program.

As you can see, Pacific Wildlife has a big year ahead of it. Our most immediate concern is finding the funding to continue to operate the clinic to accommodate new rescues. With support from community members such as yourself, we can continue to make a difference in wildlife protection. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Sincerely,

Zoli Teglas
