Story

This project will assist in the ongoing recovery of habitat and support for wildlife after emergency weather events. Bushfires and flooding destroy habitat and food sources. In the 2020 bushfires alone an estimated 3 billion native animals were lost. Additionally this project will assist WIRES in developing systems and capacity to respond to future large scale events such as the 2022 flood disaster.

Impact

As Australia's largest wildlife rescue organisation WIRES play a major role in wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and preservation. In additional to assisting individual animals every day, in the wake of the recent disasters WIRES had been developing new partnerships with key organisations to increase our involvement in wildlife habitat regeneration and species conservation to best protect and preserve wild populations of native animals long-term.

Challenge

WIRES rescue Australian animals year round. Annually we respond to around 200,000 requests to provide rescue advice and assistance to injured, orphaned and displaced native animals and sadly the numbers continue to grow. We require support to help more animals by improving our rescue systems, expanding our training programs, increasing wildlife education, supporting long-term wildlife and habitat preservation and for building new care facilities to provide best practise care for all species.
