The Beginning
Years of wildlife veterinary practice laid the foundation for a broader vision of conservation through animal health.
About VetInWild
Where wildlife health
meets conservation.
Our Story
Every conservation story begins with a life, a landscape, and the people who care for both.
VetInWild works across wildlife health, conservation and communities to strengthen the systems that connect them.

Discover our story↓A LETTER FROM THE FIELD
Conservation is
about relationships.
Northern Kenya teaches you something that no classroom ever can. You quickly learn that wildlife cannot thrive unless communities do.
A sick livestock herd affects wildlife. Human livelihoods depend on healthy ecosystems. Protecting predators means working alongside pastoralists, researchers, government agencies and local leaders.
These are not separate challenges. They are deeply connected.
That belief became VetInWild.
Our Journey
Built through
years of field work.
From veterinary practice to a broader conservation vision, the journey has been shaped by the people, landscapes and partnerships encountered along the way.

2010 — PresentOUR PHILOSOPHY
One Health
is more than
a framework.
Every decision we make begins with a simple understanding: the wellbeing of wildlife, people and ecosystems cannot be separated. Protecting one means protecting all.
Wildlife
Healthy wildlife populations are indicators of resilient ecosystems and thriving biodiversity.
Communities
Long-term conservation succeeds only when local communities are equal partners in protecting nature.
Science
Veterinary medicine, research and evidence guide every intervention we undertake.
Field Journal
What the field
teaches us.
The work is measured in encounters — an animal treated, a community supported, a landscape understood a little better.
Field Note 01Laikipia
Every rescue
tells a larger story.
Wildlife medicine is never simply about treating one animal. Behind every intervention are rangers, veterinarians, communities and conservation partners working together.

Field documentation
Field Record 02
Community vaccination programmes protecting both animals and people through preventative care.
Field Record 03
Monitoring wildlife health provides insight into the wellbeing of entire ecosystems.
Field Record 04
Veterinary care strengthens the relationship between wildlife conservation and community resilience.
The field is where science becomes practice, and where conservation becomes personal.
One Health
Everything
is connected.
Wildlife. Domestic animals. Communities. Ecosystems. They do not exist independently. Our work recognises these relationships and protects them together.
01
Wildlife
Healthy wildlife populations are essential to functioning ecosystems.
02
Animals
Domestic animals share landscapes, resources and disease pathways with wildlife.
03
Communities
The health of people and the health of the landscapes around them are deeply connected.
04
Ecosystems
Healthy ecosystems create the conditions for all forms of life to thrive.
Better outcomes come from seeing the whole system, not just one part of it.
