BUSHFIRES IN VICTORIA AFFECT WILDLIFE
Welcome
To the Australian Wildlife
Assistance Rescue and Education website. A not for profit wildlife
rescue group with it's headquarters in Frankston dedicated to
helping sick, injured and orphaned wildlife from as far as Portsea to
Melbourne city and encompassing the Oakleigh-Springvale and
Dandenong-Cranbourne areas.
Australia is home to many unique and
beautiful birds and animals. It is important that we protect the
species we are lucky enough to have because if Australians don't
protect their own wildlife, who will?
By rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife we
promote genetic diversity. This means there will be a wider range of
genes to pass on to future generations which will help the survival
of that species. With 'global warming' issues and increased habitat
loss wildlife rescue is more important than ever.
Just because a species is common now, does
not mean it
will be in the future!

LATEST NEWS
BUSHFIRE UPDATE (April 2009)
After the devastation of Black Saturday many of us will never look at our country areas with quite the same thoughts in mind.
For many of our members our hearts belong to Taggerty and Marysville - returning weekly to release animals or drop off donations of bird seed for the starving crimson Rosellas and King Parrots, or just to pick up some fresh leaf for the ten Koalas or two burnt Wombats still in care at our Frankston shelter.
Sadly for many of the species we rescued it was not a happy ending.
Kangaroos, Wallabies, birds and Possums came into care, many however had
to be euthanised due to the severity and pain of their injuries.
However, a young female Eastern Pygmy Possum was the first to be
released back at Thornton on the 11th of April.
