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.
