When you read the title of this paper, what likely comes to mind is images of Koala bears being rescued from bush fires, or of injured raccoons and deer, being rehabilitated after a hurricane. These are examples of humanitarian assistance for wild animals, but they’re not what this paper is primarily about. The need for humanitarian assistance in the wild far exceeds the damage caused by natural disasters. Severe suffering is pervasive in nature. It’s built into natural processes, and thus it’s the norm rather than the exception.
