Wildlife Mortality and Morbidity Observations Data Package, April 2026
The National Park Service (NPS) Wildlife Health Morbidity & Mortality Observation (WHMMO) database is available to anyone within the NPS. It is a unique tool to track wildlife information and disease processes in wildlife. At the park level, information can help track general wildlife observations, illnesses, or deaths to determine incidence of disease. At a more broad level, the collected data is used for historical purposes in tracking wildlife and zoonotic disease outbreaks, informing management decisions, evaluating the effectiveness of management decisions, and providing a searchable record for park documentation in addition to exploring new avenues of research that may impact animal, human, and environmental health.
This data package contains data from WHMMO between 1990-08-14 and 2026-02-25.
