Second Chance for Wildlife
Video by Juliette Behrends
As human development continues to expand into natural habitats, Carolina Wildlife Center serves as a lifeline for injured and orphaned animals. Since its founding in 1989, the organization has cared for over 55,000 animals representing more than 200 species — giving wildlife a second chance at life.

Bandit the Blue Jay serves as a mascot for Carolina Wildlife Center when animals are presented to educate the public about the nonprofit. Born with just one wing, he wouldn’t survive in the wild. His talkative nature makes him popular, especially among the children. Photo courtesy of Carolina Wildlife Center
