California Department of Fish and Game
The Department of Fish and Game maintains native fish, wildlife, plant species and natural communities for their intrinsic and ecological value and their benefits to people.

Wildlife Rehab Listings
When finding an injured animal, its important you know who to contact for information on what to do and where to bring the animal. This site provides listings of wildlife rehabilitators/centers by state and country. If a specific contact person in your area is not found in these listings, call your local Game & Fish Department, Animal Control Officer, Humane Society, or veterinarian. These individuals often will know of local wildlife rehabilitation facilities and can give you their numbers.
