Mandai Wildlife Centre’s new hospital focused on the rehabilitation of rescued native wildlife officially opened on July 22. While previous intakes of rescued wildlife have declined, largely due to greater public awareness, the new facility focuses on treating animals that need intensive, even round-the-clock care, especially young animals.
The centre also acts as a research hub, gathering critical data to fill knowledge gaps in native wildlife medicine. With a 62 per cent success rate for animal recovery and releases, the centre aims to serve as a regional training hub to advance applied conservation science across South-East Asia.
