Urgent Fundraiser!
Urgent Fundraiser!
South Australia is currently facing its most severe heatwave this summer, causing distress to our beloved koalas. Due to the recent surge of koalas at our Rehabilitation Centre, we are approaching full capacity, prompting us to accelerate our efforts in constructing additional koala enclosures.
By donating to our fundraiser, you will be directly supporting the construction of new koala enclosures, misting systems, cosy resting spots and browse pots to keep their eucalypt leaves fresh.
Your contribution will help us save more sick, injured and orphaned koalas this extended summer period and during summers to come.
Our mission is to ensure South Australia’s native wildlife continue to enjoy a quality life in the wild by providing advice, advocacy, rescue and rehabilitation services, specialising in the rehabilitation of koalas and echidnas. We protect these populations through revegetating their habitats and working alongside researchers to provide meaningful data.
