Reasons that wildlife are brought to wildlife rehabilitation centres across Canada has not been documented from coast to coast. However, it is well-known that humans have a direct or indirect impact on wildlife. But just how pervasive are human impacts on wildlife across Canada?

And how can we diagnose some health issues in wild birds, specifically lead toxicity, given constraints of laboratory testing parameters?
