Wildlife Emergency Appeal
Victoria has just experienced its hottest heatwaves since Black Summer and is now in the midst of a bushfire emergency.
Native animals are feeling the impacts of this extreme weather, and our wildlife emergency services are busier than ever.
We need your help to continue to provide life-saving assistance to wildlife this summer.
Since the start of the heatwave our services have been flooded with calls for animals in need of help. Our emergency response team is triaging up to 1000 reports per day from the public who are seeking help for our native wildlife.
That is more than a call every 2 minutes.
Since the start of the heatwave our services have been flooded with calls for animals in need of help. We are triaging around 4,200 calls per week, recently receiving 1,135 requests for help in a single day, the highest number in the history of Wildlife Victoria.
Our wildlife vets are on the ground armed with ready-to-go deployment kits including fluids, medications, PPE, and mobile veterinary equipment. Our volunteer rescuers are providing vital assistance to native animals suffering from the extreme impacts. Victoria is at the forefront of rescuing and caring for Australia’s unique native animals, but over summer we need your help.
Funded predominantly by public donations, Wildlife Victoria delivers the only statewide, 24/7 wildlife emergency service, taking calls from the public to activate our wildlife veterinarians and 1,400+ trained volunteers.
Please consider making a donation to support the urgent, lifesaving work of our emergency teams this summer.
