Today, the OVAG workshop brings together over 30 organizations, including rehabilitation centers, conservation projects, universities, Government bodies, zoos, funders, and supporters to empower Indonesian and Malaysian wildlife health practitioners and academics. OVAG also offers professional training to veterinarians and conservation managers who work directly with orangutan rescue and rehab centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/worldvet.org\/\"><strong>worldvet.org<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, April 24th, 2021, was World Veterinary Day, where we celebrate the veterinary profession.
