New Mexico Wildlife Center
New Mexico Wildlife Center's (NMWC) mission is to connect people and wildlife for an abundant tomorrow. Our wildlife hospital admits and treats over 800 patients per year from all over New Mexico with the goal of release back into the wild. NMWC's veterinarian and certified wildlife rehabilitators work seven days a week, 365 days per year to give the highest quality medical care to the animals in the wildlife hospital.
With 35non-releasable Ambassador Animals, NMWC also operates as an educational facility that helps to promote better understanding of and compassion towards New Mexico's native wildlife. NMWC reaches up to 7,000 people per year with onsite, offsite, and virtual wildlife education programs. At New Mexico Wildlife Center, our goal is to have every visitor leave with a better understanding of the wildlife around them and how to coexist with them.

New Mexico Wild, alongside a diverse coalition of stakeholders, helped secure a crucial protection that will temporarily shield vital tributaries and headwaters in Santa Fe and San Miguel counties while federal agencies study the possibility of extending protections for 20 years.
