YOUR HELP IS NEEDED:
The Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital and the Australia Zoo Rescue Unit are experiencing a dramatic increase in wildlife injuries and orphans due to the devastating floods. They need your help!
Our Queensland wildlife are feeling the pain with the majority of their habitats inundated with flood waters. As the clean up begins around South East Queensland, the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital and Australia Zoo Rescue Unit are seeing an influx of flood affected victims.
As a charity, Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors relies on donations to run their key projects, including the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. They are appealing to the community to help raise funds through the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital Flood Appeal which will assist in treating wildlife victims.
Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital Veterinarian, Dr Amber Gillett is working overtime to treat sick and injured wildlife.
"I'm really proud to be helping the wildlife victims of the floods who don't have a voice. Without a voice these beautiful, innocent victims rely on us to help them survive during this devastating time." said Dr Amber.
