Get fit. Have Fun. Save lives.

Join the thousands this April who’ll be Walking on the Wild Side to rescue and protect Aussie wildlife in urgent need!

Walk on the Wild Side is a fun challenge where you can choose to walk either 50km, 100km, or 150km throughout the month of April in support of Australian wildlife in need.

Choose the fitness goal that’s right for you and ask your friends and family to sponsor your challenge.

All funds raised will go towards supporting WIRES wildlife emergency response service, providing rescue and care for thousands of injured, orphaned and sick native animals every month.

Aussie wildlife needs you!

Even before deadly heatwaves struck in January, our rescue teams were dealing with huge numbers of displaced, orphaned and injured native animals. Almost every year our Wildlife Rescue Office receives around 10% more calls than the year before; the tragic repercussions of habitat loss, increased traffic, predators, disease – and now catastrophic weather events, often unprecedented in their severity and scale. It’s a distressing situation – but you can help provide a vital safeguard!

Funds raised from the challenge will help keep our Wildlife Rescue Office open 24/7, resource our growing fleet of Wildlife Ambulances and Emergency Responders across NSW and in Queensland and Tasmania, and support thousands of WIRES volunteers as they provide expert care to rescued native animals.

Free, flexible and fun!

Thanks to some of our amazing Corporate Partners and Supporters - unique, wildlife-friendly prize incentives will be offered throughout the challenge!

For example, if you sign up and raise $10 you could go in the running to win a cool wildlife prize pack.

Also, for the first 400 wild walkers who sign up and raise $100 you’ll receive our official Walk on the Wild Side cap*
