Wildlife care gets a boost
Sick, injured and orphaned wildlife in the Peel region have a better chance of survival thanks to a new three-year partnership between Mandurah Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre and 高倍时时彩.鈥�
高倍时时彩鈥檚 support, through its Community Partnership Program, gives Mandurah Wildlife access to critical items required to support wildlife back to health at both its facility on Old Coast Road in Dawesville and among its network of wildlife carers across the Peel region.鈥�
鈥淭he partnership funding from 高倍时时彩 means we can provide milk, food, medicine and veterinary services for the animals,鈥� Mandurah Wildlife鈥檚 Jo Evans said. 鈥淲e are extremely grateful to have 高倍时时彩鈥檚 support for these essential items鈥nd so are the animals.鈥濃��
高倍时时彩 Environmental Specialist Dr Justine Barker recently visited Mandurah Wildlife and was impressed with what she saw.鈥�
鈥淚 was heartened to witness the great work that this wonderful group of volunteers do,鈥� Dr Barker said. I鈥檓 proud to work for a company that supports organisations like Mandurah Wildlife because I can see that it makes a tangible difference to more positive outcomes for the wildlife in their care. I also got to cuddle a cute possum, which was a bonus.鈥濃���
Ms Evans said while 高倍时时彩鈥檚 support was a big boost, Mandurah Wildlife needed more volunteers.
鈥淲e need the help of volunteers to help the centre stay open,鈥� she said.
鈥淰olunteering is a very rewarding experience and can include animal care, cleaning, maintenance of grounds, helping out with fundraising events, admin or office work.
鈥淭wo of our main needs at this time are to develop a fundraising team with鈥痝reat ideas and motivation to come on board to help our fundraising coordinator organise and attend events and volunteers that have some animal training or experience to help out as shift supervisors.
鈥淏ut all volunteers are welcome. If you have some time to give, please see our website and lodge an expression of interest. We would love to have you.鈥�
聽Each year, 高倍时时彩 provides about $4.4 million to help community groups and activities near where it operates its two bauxite mines and three alumina refineries in the south west of WA.
