We help install and monitor barrier fencing and culverts to reduce road mortality of amphibians in coastal British Columbia. We monitor how well these mitigation efforts work to improve habitat connectivity. We also help protect wetlands from habitat destruction, pollution, invasive species, and disease. We share information and promote stewardship of wetland habitats through public slideshows, workshops, school programs and by providing scientific advice to land owners and local planning departments. We highlight the connection between productive wetland habitat, water quality and human health in our presentations.

VAST workshops and clinics are offered to communities that rarely see veterinary or animal husbandry services. We train local animal health workers in food animal care, disease prevention and treatment, and biosecurity. The goal is to recognise key diseases in livestock before they become fatal, as well as give locals the opportunity to have their animals health checked. A secondary goal is to deliver needed veterinary medicines and supplies to communities. Our next visit is to Haiti. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, with some of the highest infant mortality, illiteracy and infectious disease rates found globally. Since the earthquake in 2010, a cholera epidemic has also impacted the population, compromising their ability to rebuild. As more than 80% of the population survives on less than $2 US/day, farmers are unable to pay for proper animal care. Unfortunately for most rural Haitians, their family's wealth and security are tied up in the few animals they own.
