The Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) issued guidelines in March 2023 on the care and use of wildlife.
Topics covered include field studies, capture, restraint, marking, sampling and surgery, transportation, housing and husbandry, welfare assessment, release, euthanasia, human safety considerations, relevant guidelines and literature references.
The guidelines (95 pages) are available on the CCAC website. The website also includes frequently asked questions about wildlife research.
The CCAC publishes a large range of general and specific guidelines.
Please also see the resources from the two consensus meetings on field research organised by Norecopa (in 2008 and 2017).
