History

The world-renowned Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine officially launched the Cornell Wildlife Health Center in March of 2020, with the twin goals of having transformational impact and projecting an innovative, broader vision for what it means to secure healthy wildlife and ecosystems.

Today’s Cornell is very much about impact, teamwork, and engagement at a range of scales, from local to global. By drawing on Cornell’s diverse expertise to build multidisciplinary teams that recognize the needs of all stakeholder groups, we can craft innovative ‘win-win’ solutions for the benefit of wildlife, domestic animals, and local communities – the very people who are the frontline stewards of what remains of wild nature.
