The International Bird Rescue in San Pedro is doing remarkable work for animals and the environment.
The Dawn Duck has cared for wildlife for 45 years, dating back to the oil spill in South Carolina in the early 80s.
"At the time, no one knew what to do with oiled animals and no idea how to clean them. In fact, in the early days they used kerosene, mineral oil, all these things that actually caused additional damage and ruined feathers," said JD Bergeron of International Bird Rescue."We actually chased Dawn for a long time to convince them that this quality of their product was valuable not just for dishes but we had been using it on birds," said Bergeron.
"In the work that we do we are constantly on the verge of potential bankruptcy because the work is expensive and there’s always more need. This gives us some runway to actually make more courageous decisions," said Bergeron.
