Wildlife veterinarians diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate injured or sick wild animals, conduct field research, manage population health, and support conservation programs. They collaborate with wildlife reserves, national parks, rescue centres, and conservation NGOs. Their responsibilities include immobilisation, field surgery, necropsies, disease surveillance, and evaluating ecological impacts of disease. The role requires physical stamina, adaptability, and advanced knowledge of ecology and wildlife biology. Increasing human–wildlife interaction, habitat change, and emerging zoonotic diseases are elevating the demand for wildlife veterinarians within global conservation efforts.
