The bald eagle, one of the most majestic birds in British Columbia, is a sentinel of what is happening in the environment. Here at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre (NIWRA), eagles arrive with evidence of humans’ severe consequences on wildlife. From loss of waterside habitat, loss of nest trees from land clearing, vehicle collisions, hydro line electrocution, and even gunshot wounds, nearly 95 percent of admissions to NIWRA are due to human impact.
NIWRA has been in operation since 1985, with our mandate being to care for ill, injured, and orphaned wildlife and to educate the public about nature and environmental issues. We admit over 700 animals a year, with the hope of them returning to the wild.
