Wildlife Sanctuary
In addition to supporting and representing the needs of all
Australian wildlife, the founders of Wildlife Advocate also rescue,
rehabilitate and release sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.
Furthermore, the founders have established a wildlife sanctuary where our
native Australian wildlife is protected from would-be poachers and
commercial hunters.
Below is a selection of photos of the animals that have
been successfully raised and released at the
Wildlife Advocate Wildlife
Sanctuary.

Megan was the first of many joeys
raised and then released at the Wildlife Advocate Wildlife Sanctuary.
She returns regularly with her new offspring, as on this occasion,
to relax in a peaceful and familiar surroundings |
 |
Megan was just one of four released that first year.
This picture shows all four surveying their surroundings. |

The same four again (Megan, Balin, Duke and Charlie)
just prior to release. |

The Wildlife Advocate Wildlife Sanctuary has seen a
precession of sick, injured and orphaned eastern grey joeys raised,
rehabilitated and released
Arwen and Aragon were just two of many
rehabilitated, raised and released at the sanctuary.

At the Wildlife Advocate Wildlife
Sanctuary we look after the injured ones as well. This little joey
(Rhiannon) had come in with twine wrapped around her little fingers.
As you can see on her left hand, some of her fingers are deformed or
missing. After surgery to save the viable fingers, Rhiannon was
successfully raised and released.
Rhiannon is now a mother twice over and
returns, like Megan, on a regular basis |
 |
All of our female joeys, and many of the male ones,
return on a regular basis. As a consequence we are able to get
great insights into the natural development cycle of eastern grey joeys.
We also observe and learn from the social dynamics of the mob. |
