Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network (SBWCN) today announced the official launch of WildWelcome.com, a first-of-its-kind digital platform designed to empower individuals, families, and communities to better understand and coexist with the wild animals living around them.
As human development continues to expand into natural habitats, encounters with wildlife are becoming more frequent. WildWelcome.com offers free, accessible resources to help people make informed, compassionate decisions when these encounters occur — whether it’s a hawk in the backyard, a fawn on the side of the road, or ducklings in a swimming pool.
WildWelcome.com was created as a project of Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, one of California’s leading wildlife rescue and rehabilitation organizations, with decades of expertise in responding to wildlife emergencies and educating the public on best practices.
“Most people want to do the right thing when they come across a wild animal — they just don’t always know what that is,” said [Founder or Executive Director Name], [Title] of Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network. “WildWelcome gives them clear, trusted guidance in those critical moments.”
Key features of WildWelcome.com include:
- Species Guides: Easy-to-follow profiles that help identify common local wildlife and their natural behaviors.
- Learning Center: A growing library of articles, videos, and resources covering topics such as baby animal season, wildlife-proofing homes, and ethical wildlife watching.
- Community Tools: Opportunities to engage with local wildlife efforts and share sightings.
All content on WildWelcome.com is informed by the real-world experience of wildlife professionals and aims to support both public safety and animal welfare.
