In the past year WIRES has responded to more than 163,000 native animals in distress, and every year the numbers rise.
These are the survivors of Australian wildlife, and without urgent safeguards, they too will soon be lost.
But you can help! Your donation today will help us rescue and protect many thousands of injured, orphaned and displaced native animals over the coming year. It will support our 24/7 Wildlife Rescue Office so when a member of our community finds a native animal in distress, there is someone available to take their urgent call. They will provide help and advice and where possible, arrange the vital logistics behind getting that native animal out of immediate danger and into lifesaving care.
Just as important, your donation will make sure thousands of wildlife volunteers have access to the support they need to make a tangible difference for the native animals in their care. You'll be supporting them with species-specific food, specialist formulas, rescue supplies, flight aviaries, humidicribs, medicines and pre-release enclosures that truly do make an extraordinary difference to rescued native animals preparing for the wild.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Why is this appeal needed right now?
