WISDOM’s Co-Founder Dr. Loretta Mayer has been a friend, colleague and mentor for many years. I became a WISDOM Good Works Board Member because of its commitment to humanely control animal overpopulation around the world.
WISDOM’s impactful presence in our community shines through our diverse array of projects and events, each designed to foster connection, education, and positive change.

We’ve just come back from the 31st Vertebrate Pest Conference in Monterey, California, where our presentations were extremely well-received and generated a substantial amount of interest in our fertility-control technology and methodology. We’ll be sharing the details about new pilot programs and partnerships that result from this conference as they emerge.
Next week will be a busy one for WISDOM Good Works as our scientists and end users present at conferences on both coasts about the benefits of fertility-control technology to control overpopulations of rodents.
Next week will be the 10th annual World Wildlife Day, a global observance created by the United Nations General Assembly to celebrate wildlife and the conservation work being done to ensure the ecosystems thrive.
