As a result of the work done by our Sydney Wildlife volunteers, the companies that volunteer their time and the local community support, the word is getting out about the magnificent work Sydney Wildlife is doing at the rehabilitation facility to give the animals that come in to care the best possible chance of a successful release back into their native habitat.
To assist in increasing the awareness of the different types of native animals we care for, the habitat they live in and the dangers they face, a local photographer, Peter Sharp from Tame and Wild Studios, has volunteered his services to capture some wonderful images of Australian wildlife rescued by Sydney Wildlife Carers. The images are used by our volunteers when doing educational talks giving the general public a chance to see up close what our wildlife looks like when normally you would only see glimpses of them at night time.
The quality of the images allows us to explain and show the features of these animals and help with identification without the need for live animals to be present at the talk.
A good example of this is the feather tail glider. We are able to show how it gets its name from its feather like tail. We can also show examples of baby animals that are normally not seen outside of the mothers pouch. This is extremely useful when educating the public on what to do should they come across an injured animal that happens to have a baby joey in its pouch.
We wanted to share with some of the magnificent images Peter has captured for us of our unique Australia Native Wildlife.
