In the last financial year WIRES received over 100,000 requests for rescue advice and assistance. Hundreds of animals are always in care, with spring and summer being the busiest months for rehabilitating sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.
Approximately 1 million dollars is needed annually to feed wildlife in care.
In the last financial year WIRES spent over $438,000 on wildlife food across our NSW branches and more than $500,000 nationally. The cost to feed different animals in care varies greatly from species to species, food types, brands and across all different ages.
