Expanded International Electronic Open Access
to the Journal of Wildlife Diseases

In 2006, the WDA in conjunction with sponsorship from the Wildlife Conservation Society Global Health Program [WCS – GHP] initiated complete open access of the Journal of Wildlife Diseases to people in the 113 countries of the world with the least economically developed economies. In August 2009, the WDA Council voted to expand free access for a five year trial period to people in Mexico, Central America and South America.

The WDA continues to enjoy and appreciate the co-sponsorship of this initiate with the WCS – GHP. The 2009 decision now provides open electronic access to the Journal in 135 countries of the world, countries that represent 75% of the world population and few of which have wildlife health programs. As the members who comprise the Association, we should be pleased with the extent to which this distribution addresses our mission ‘to acquire, disseminate and apply knowledge’ about health of wildlife!
