At a time when an alarming number of species around the world are facing critical threats produced by human activity such as overfishing, habitat degradation, plastic pollution and rising ocean temperatures, Shedd Aquarium is reaffirming its commitment to helping animals in need around the globe. In addition to a new Animal Response Team name and cause awareness campaign, the aquarium also launched a new “Sheddvocate” public engagement and advocacy program designed to inspire individuals to take action and join in the organization’s mission to rescue, rehabilitate, release and rehome animals.

A Sheddvocate (Shedd + advocate) is someone who wants to support the aquarium’s work through collective actions that help the health and well-being of animals in need. Today, the Animal Response Team focuses on four core areas – rescue, rehabilitation, release and rehome. These core areas emphasize responding and providing support in times of crisis, nursing animals back to health, and either returning the animals back to their environments or providing a home for those that cannot be released. To support the Animal Response Team’s mission to protect the health and well-being of animals in need, visit www.sheddaquarium.org/sheddvocate to pledge, give, share or visit today.
