Thank you for choosing to support wildlife
During what has become known as Black Summer, Australia was devastated by the worst fire season in history, in the wake of one of the worst droughts on record.
We deeply thank everyone that has donated or offered help over these challenging months. We are inspired on an ongoing basis by the support of the community and the outstanding rescue and care work provided by our rescue team and volunteers to help hundreds of sick, injured and orphaned native animals every day.
With your ongoing support we will continue to increase our capacity to help higher numbers of animals and to do all we can to help protect wildlife and preserve the future of all native species in the wild.
Please know that we are committed to improving outcomes for native animals and that we act with integrity and use donations wisely.
Donations to WIRES are used to:
- Improve our capability to rescue and care for more animals
- Operate our Wildlife Rescue Office 365 days a year
- Subsidise food costs for wildlife in care
- Provide community wildlife information and education
- Provide wildlife training courses for volunteers and the community
- Support our volunteers
- Grow our service so that we can help wildlife for generations to come
WIRES receives no confirmed, ongoing government funding for rescue and care operations, making contributions like yours vital for our services.
