World Wildlife Rescue

Learn about how and when World Wildlife Rescue was founded 🦁

WWR was founded in 2020 after decades of “in the making.” Our founder Rochelle James, is highly passionate about animal welfare and the persecution of animals across all aspects of our society.

She understands that access to medical treatment, care facilities and the need for housing for those who cannot be released into the wild is a key limitation for many animals living on our planet today. She is particularly passionate about animals in Africa and the rapidly declining wildlife populations there.

During the initial planning phase of WWR Rochelle became extremely emotional as her long held dream began to become reality. She holds a strong vision for the base wildlife hospital and the satellite clinics to contribute equally to the local communities as it will the animals that live there.

“As a graduate of the University of Central Arkansas with a degree in Public Relations and Communication, I believe in the positive impact that can come from great communication. It is my goal to solve issues and problems through strategic solutions by building campaigns, creating new opportunities for businesses, and communicating effectively with the community.

I believe that one of the most important issues in the world today is the decimation of wildlife throughout the world.

As a global issue that affects us all, my hope and goal working with organizations like World Wildlife Rescue is to help raise awareness, spread education, and create impactful change for these amazing animals.”
