Program
Lesanna Lahner, executive director and wildlife veterinarian for new organization called SR3.
Lesanna has worked at Lincoln Park Zoo, USFWS Seattle Aquarium, Sarvey and the faculty of UW Center for One Health.  SR3 stands for Response - Rehab - Research:  https://www.sealifer3.org  It’s mission is to promote the health and welfare of wildlife in the Pacific NW.
It’s a new nonprofit, to be located on the waterfront in West Seattle, with a $2M / yr operation fund.  Jodie Allen (Paul Allen’s sister) is on the board, plus fundraising. Washington has the same length of coastline as California!  Showed video of cutting rope from entangled whale.
Why rehab wildlife?
  • Canary in the coal mine (to find out environmental dangers for humans)
  • Welfare
  • Train future generations
  • Knowledge and science
  • Promote coexistence
  • Human interactions
