Wildlife Veterinarians Branch

Mission

The Wildlife Veterinarians Branch of the NZVA was formed to enhance veterinary contributions to the welfare and management of New Zealand's native wildlife, to support research in this field, and to encourage conservation of threatened species.

We do this by:

• assisting in the veterinary management of New Zealand native wildlife through sharing general and technical information
• producing the technical publication Kokako and a newsletter three times per year
• running a Google discussion group
• holding an annual conference to share ideas and encourage conservation of threatened species.
