Working together to “Help Wild Lives Live”
WA Wildlife receives no state or federal government funding (excluding ad hoc grants) and was the first designated wildlife veterinary hospital in Western Australia. Each year the WA Wildlife Hospital treats and rehabilitates more than 6500 sick and injured animals.
Sponsorships play a vital role in supporting our ongoing fight for wildlife conservation. Without sponsors, we cannot achieve our mission! Sponsors and Supporters help us by:
- Paying for costs associated with our wildlife veterinary hospital (including salaries for critical staff).
- Funding wildlife research programs.
- Funding education and training programs.
- Funding wildlife treatment and/or rehabilitation programs.
- Funding new project initiatives to help wildlife.
- Building and maintaining wildlife rehabilitation enclosures and other infrastructure.
- Funding general animal husbandry needs such as food and enrichment.
