The Conservation Series: Resilience

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” - Theodore Roosevelt

Featured in this photo is Maverick, a permanently disabled wild animal that is given sanctuary at the Center for Wildlife in Cape Neddick, ME. In return for a safe and enriched captive life, these animals help to educate our community about wildlife and environmental conservation. Maverick is a peregrine falcon who was struck by a car in Brunswick, ME; He sustained trauma to his left eye and a deep laceration to his left wing that impacted the tendon and muscle. Maverick’s resilience embodies the American ability to grow, overcome, and renew.
