Alliance for Wildlife
Causes and determinants of death, injury and disease in wildlife (2023-2026)
The project is implemented in the framework of the “Alliance for Wildlife” initiative, with the support of WWF Hellas. It aims to investigate the causes and factors contributing to the injury, diseases and death of wild animals based on the data collected by ANIMA since 2005. This investigation is a “key” for the development of targeted and effective conservation measures in Greece.
The Alliance for Wildlife is the collective effort of 11 environmental NGOs to maximise the impact of their actions, with a common vision of the well-being of wildlife and people.
