Learn how to help sick, injured and orphaned wildlife with Safina Center Launchpad Fellow Erica Cirino in a free online presentation with Cold Spring Harbor Library. CSH native Erica Cirino gives us a peek into the life of a wildlife rehabilitator, nursing sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife back to health for eventual return into the wild. Erica has worked in the field as a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for 11 years, with seven of those years spent in the clinical setting. In this multimedia presentation, she will elaborate on the threats posed especially by plastic pollution and other human-caused harms in light of the May 2019 U.N. extinction report, which painted a bleak outlook on life for Earth’s nonhuman beings–due to human actions. While rehabilitating individual wild animals may not correct the extinction crisis, Erica explains how it can bring attention to its causes and the implications that has for life on Earth.

Attendees will learn how to best help wildlife in need, along with some tricks of the wildlife rehabilitation trade.
