Below is a record of our conversation with Prudi Koeninger, founder and current president
of the DFW Wildlife Coalition.
The DFW Wildlife Coalition runs a hotline available from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, staffed by over fifty volunteers, who help make connections between licensed wildlife rehabbers, wildlife centers, rescue organizations and government agencies to provide solutions for callers who encounter injured or orphaned animals. The hotline also offers advice to aid residents in cohabitating with the wildlife who have adapted to thrive in our urban centers. We sat down with Prudi Koeninger to learn more about her work and her philosophy regarding the coalition's approach to animal rescue.
