What We Do The Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is a non-profit organization with over 40 years of dedication to the protection and conservation of Florida's wildlife and natural resources. To accomplish this goal the Sanctuary has a twofold mission of wildlife rehabilitation and environmental education. We rescue sick, injured, or orphaned native Florida wildlife with the goal of returning them to the wild. Last year we had over 5,200 patients come into our hospital. Ninety percent of the patients admitted each year to the Sanctuary's wildlife rehabilitation center have suffered from some type of human-related injury. Collisions with automobiles, fishing line entanglement, illegal gunshots, poisonings, and electrocutions, are only a small example of the types of injuries that are regularly treated and why education of the public is so important.
