Wildlife Aid is a not for profit
association incorporated in NSW and licensed by
NSW "National Parks and Wildlife Service" to rehabilitate and release sick, injured and orphaned native fauna in the Greater Hunter area of NSW Australia.
Wildlife Aid is a network of dedicated unpaid volunteers from a diverse range of backgrounds
and skills who donate there time and resources to a common goal, the survival of
our native fauna for future generations.
Australia is one of the most biodiverse continents in the world, thought to be home
to over 1 million flora and fauna species, many of which are found no where else
on the planet. In the last 200 years more than 125 species of flora and fauna have
become extinct, more mammals than on any other continent in the world. In excess
of 360 animal species are currently listed
as threatened. Almost all of this is
due to human impact, habitat destruction, the urban sprawl, predation by introduced
species particularly cats and foxes, climate change, road kill, the list goes on!
Wildlife Aid receive hundreds of calls a year from the public, local business, mines,
police and vets. Our trained and experienced
team of volunteer phone operators,
rescuers and foster carers respond,
to provide the sick, injured or orphaned animals
with the highest level of care, including veterinary examination and treatment if
required. This gives the animal its best chance for recovery possible, and a high likelihood of survival when returned to the wild.
