Every time a displaced, injured or sick koala is reported to WIRES Wildlife Rescue, a critical alert is sent so help can reach them without delay. These alerts come through almost daily and they are always heartbreaking. Blinded by chlamydia, attacked by introduced predators, hit by cars, malnourished, dehydrated and displaced through loss of habitat, every koala is now vital for the future of their species. This project will support our Emergency Rescue Team to assist native wildlife.
Koalas in Australia are suffering. Now listed as Endangered in NSW and Queensland, they are the victims of disease, introduced predators and horrendous habitat loss.
For a short time, a generous major donor has offered to match your donations, up to a total value of AU $10,000!
