BackgroundHuman activities are permanently threatening wildlife. Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centers (WRRC) have served for the rescue, rehabilitation and reinsertion of affected and recovered animals.MethodsWe reviewed the casuistry of five wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centers in Chile over 5 years, and described the main causes of admission, most affected taxonomic groups and final outcomes of the admitted individuals, shedding light into general patterns and relevant factors currently affecting wildlife in Chile. To understand the current work and status of WRRC system in Chile, we also conducted a qualitative survey to WRRC personnel and Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) regional offices regarding their operation.ResultsA total of 3418 cases of animals admitted to WRRC were obtained; 95.3% corresponded to native species. Of native animal cases, 86.0% corresponded to birds, 12.3% were mammals and 1.7% reptiles. Trauma was the most frequently observed cause of admission in all three native fauna groups (35.8% in birds, 23.2% in mammals, 27.8% in reptiles).ConclusionsWRRC are a tool for conservation and education of wild animal species in Chile, however WRRC and SAG regional office personnel highlighted several deficiencies in the current system and suggested opportunities for improvement. The current WRRC system needs modernization and financial support from the Chilean state to fulfil their relevant mission.

一项关于诡诈模式的五年回顾性研究以及对智利野生动物救援和康复中心现状的见解

背景人类活动永远威胁着野生动物。Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centres (WRRC) 为受影响和恢复的动物的救援、康复和重新安置服务。 方法我们回顾了智利 5 年多来的五个野生动物救援和康复中心的诡辩术，并描述了入院的主要原因，受影响最大的分类群体和被接纳个体的最终结果，揭示了目前影响智利野生动物的一般模式和相关因素。为了解智利 WRRC 系统的当前工作和现状，我们还对 WRRC 人员和农业和畜牧服务 (SAG) 地区办事处的运作情况进行了定性调查。结果共获得 3418 例 WRRC 动物；95.3% 对应于本地物种。在本地动物病例中，86.0% 对应于鸟类，12.3% 是哺乳动物，1.7% 是爬行动物。外伤是所有三个本地动物群中最常见的入园原因（鸟类 35.8%，哺乳动物 23.2%，爬行动物 27.8%）。结论 WRRC 是智利野生动物物种保护和教育的工具，但是 WRRC 和SAG 区域办事处人员强调了当前系统中的几个缺陷并提出了改进的机会。当前的 WRRC 系统需要智利政府的现代化和财政支持才能完成其相关任务。结论 WRRC 是智利野生动物物种保护和教育的工具，但是 WRRC 和 SAG 区域办事处人员强调了当前系统中的几个缺陷并提出了改进机会。当前的 WRRC 系统需要智利政府的现代化和财政支持才能完成其相关任务。结论 WRRC 是智利野生动物物种保护和教育的工具，但是 WRRC 和 SAG 区域办事处人员强调了当前系统中的几个缺陷并提出了改进机会。当前的 WRRC 系统需要智利政府的现代化和财政支持才能完成其相关任务。
