Wild animals in urban areas
We assess wildlife-related situations in urban areas and find a safe solution for the animal.
Wild animals need help — day or night, we are ready.
As people increasingly expand into natural habitats, encounters with wildlife become more frequent. Jäägriabi helps in these situations across Tallinn, Harju County and Pärnu.
Available around the clock
Moments from Jäägriabi call-outs — from lynx and foxes to beavers.
What we do
We assess every call individually — a phone call is all it takes to get started.
2
Live capture and release
We catch rodents and small wild animals found in gardens using live traps and release them safely in the wild.
3
Beaver dams
We dismantle beaver dams and manage beaver populations where necessary and by agreement.
4
Removal of deceased animals
Safe removal of wild animals killed on roads and carcasses found near private homes.
5
Helping birds
We catch birds trapped in buildings, assist injured birds and help prevent nesting problems in spring.
6
Beaches and small islands
Removal of birds and animals washed ashore, and management of fox and raccoon dog populations on small islands.
