Wildlife rehabilitation centers often struggle with makeshift solutions for injured animals. A copper-lined vest for penguins shows how specialized gear can aid recovery.
Design animal-specific protective gear that’s durable, washable, and safe for long-term wear. Focus on common injuries like wing damage or skin lesions.
Rehab centers and zoos would pay for proven solutions that reduce recovery time. Conservation NGOs might fund bulk purchases.
Start with a single proven design (like the penguin vest) and validate with one rehab center before expanding.
The biggest risk is niche demand—each species may need custom solutions, raising production costs.
