our story

With the increased threats to biodiversity such as limited habitat, human wildlife conflict and the spread of disease, our vets play a crucial role in assisting with the preservation of wildlife species. As operational budgets in state protected areas have decreased and human populations have grown outside protected areas, there has been an increased pressure on veterinary services.

Dr Dave Cooper, Dr Pete Goodman and Kate Church founded African Wildlife Vets to augment a shortfall in veterinary services and support. Their mission is to assist wildlife organisations with the conservation of threatened species by providing high quality veterinary attention and care.
