About The Wildlife Brigade

This collaborative project brings together a team of animal communicators to work directly with individuals experiencing conflict with wildlife.

The mission is to:

Develop real-world case studies that will be featured in a future publication.
Explore non-lethal solutions to wildlife-human conflicts.
Deepen our understanding of each animal’s perspective through direct communication.
Practice and refine mediation skills to facilitate peaceful agreements between humans and animals.
Create a baseline protocol for future communicators to reference and learn from supporting ethical, heart-centered approaches to wildlife conflict resolution through a living body of wisdom that evolves through collaboration, respect, and experience.

Mission

Our mission is to foster conscious coexistence between humans and the wild world by cultivating relationships rooted in respect, understanding, and reverence.

Through compassionate communication and collaborative healing, we bridge the gap between people and wildlife, honoring the needs of all beings while supporting practical, heart-centered solutions. This work goes beyond resolving conflict; it invites a paradigm shift toward mutual partnership with nature, where the voices of wildlife are heard, respected, and woven into a more harmonious future.

Follow the Steps Below

Submit an Inquiry
Begin by completing the inquiry form below. Tell us about the wildlife conflict you're experiencing, what's been happening, and what kind of support you're looking for.
We Review Your Case
Our team will carefully review your inquiry to determine whether the situation is a good fit for the Wildlife Brigade and whether we have the capacity to support it.
Schedule an Intake Call
If your inquiry is accepted, a team member will reach out to schedule an intake and assessment call.
This is an important first step in understanding the situation in greater depth, discussing your concerns, gathering additional information, and determining how we can best approach the case.
There is no payment required when you submit the inquiry form or schedule your intake call. If your case is selected, the follow steps will apply.
Select Your Contribution
Following your intake call, if we determine that your situation is a good fit for the Wildlife Brigade, you'll be invited to select your contribution level and complete payment before communication and casework begins.
Communication & Casework Begins
Once payment has been received, our team will begin the communication and casework outlined during your intake process.
Depending on the situation, this may involve communication with the animals involved, additional correspondence, research, negotiation and mediation, or other forms of support.
Because every case is different, the work may involve multiple communications and exchanges as we work toward resolution. Our goal is not simply to conduct a single communication, but to thoughtfully work through the situation and explore practical, compassionate paths toward coexistence.

Supporting the Team

Wildlife conflict cases are rarely simple. Each situation requires time, communication, assessment, research, collaboration, and often multiple conversations between the humans, animals, and members of our team.

These contributions help support the communicators who dedicate hours of their time to each case and allow us to continue developing this collaborative approach to wildlife conflict resolution.
