Australia has some of the world’s most unique wildlife, with many species found only in Australia. This makes wildlife conservation in Australia incredibly important.
In this program you will have the opportunity to compensate for some of the damage that we do as we compete with animals for their scarce resources. You will make a real contribution to the conservation of Australia’s weird and wonderful wildlife as you work alongside the rangers at a local sanctuary that provides refuge for species that are at real risk of extinction.
This sanctuary also provides a refuge for rehabilitated but un-releasable injured and orphaned animals. It also protects an ancient Aboriginal landscape where you can see examples of Aboriginal sites that show evidence of Australia’s original people dating back thousands of years, including hand-stenciled caves and sandstone engravings.
In this program, the participants will assist the park rangers with general animal care.
