The Wildlife Hospital, founded by the Nature and Parks Protection Authority and the Zoological Center Tel Aviv - Ramat Gan (Safari), treats some 2,000 wild animals every year, some live in the Safari and some are native Israeli animals. The largest animals, such as gazelles and jackals, are brought to the hospital by the nature reserve and environmental organization wardens; the smaller animals are brought to the hospital by ordinary people. As Israel is situated on the migration path of numerous birds, a considerable number of birds are treated. Four veterinarians, clinic coordinators and tens of volunteers, along with young people during their military service, comprise the hospital team.
