Britain’s injured animals come in from the wild
Englishman Les Stocker won a Rolex Award in 1990 to establish Europe’s first wildlife teaching hospital. The hospital was soon set up and continues to expand, but along the way Stocker has achieved much more, becoming a highly respected expert on first aid and rehabilitation for sick and injured wild animals.
"An animal will fight for life, if you give it a chance....And when you see the bird or animal go off into the wild when it’s better, you feel as if you’ve really achieved something.”
