Become a Wildlife Warrior
I am sure many of you know about the Australia Zoo in Beerwah, Queensland, but you might not know about about the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Project which was established by Steve Irwin and his wife Terri. This volunteering project was created with the aim to involve people in the protection and care of injured, sick, orphaned, threatened wildlife from the individual animals to the entire species.
A few Facts about the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital
A few pictures of the Australia Zoo Wildlife HospitalThe Wildlife Hospital is daily involved with the care of sick and injured australian native animals. In the picture below you see a vet assisting a koala patient which was submitted to the emergency room of the hospital. Every day 100 of australian animals receive medical treatment and care. Thanks to the work of this Wildlife Hospital like many australian animals can survive and brought back to their wild habitat.
This turtle in the picture below has just been treated and hopefully can be released to its natural habitat soon.
How to contribute to the Wildlife Warriors ProjectBeing a free community service with no government funding, the Wildlife Hospital relies on the generosity of donators and on the work of volunteers . Currently approximately 95 volunteers help out on a regular basis. The majority of volunteers are residents, but an increasing number of international students as well as travellers (like me) join the Wildlife Warriors Volunteering Project every year.
Because small changes in everyday lives make a huge difference everyone can support the Wildlife Warriors Project with their contribution. I am proud of having been involved in this great volunteering project and am keen of telling you about my Wildlife Warrior Volunteer experience at the Wildlife Hospital in Beerwah. You can do it by becoming a Wildlife Warrior at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital in Beerwah.
