About
UNTAMED is hosted by Ed Clark, President and Co-Founder of The Wildlife Center of Virginia, one of the world's leading teaching and research hospitals for wildlife and conservation medicine. In the series, Clark takes us behind the scenes where diagnosing and treating the injuries of its patients is just the beginning of the Center’s investigative and conservation work. The team of wildlife rehabilitators and veterinarians strives to identify and address the threats and hazards that cause harm to wildlife in the first place—issues ranging from human activities to environmental contamination to emerging wildlife disease.
