These stories by Jeff Lederman, who operates the Island Wildlife Natural Care Centre on Salt Spring Island, illustrate the challenges faced by the people who work to save wildlife. The Centre is a registered charity dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned wild animals. Lederman`s recollections of some of the animals he`s treated convey the joy, heartbreak and inspiration they have brought to him and serve as inspiration to readers to tread more softly on the Earth.
