WIRES
 Australia  |  Animals/Wildlife

Across Australia our native wildlife is under threat from loss of habitat, introduced animals and toxic chemicals. And that's why WIRES is here - rescuing animals in distress and by using education, research and the media we are helping to turn the tide and give our wildlife another chance.

The NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service Incorporated (WIRES) is the largest wildlife rescue organisation in Australia. When an echidna is hit by a car, a possum is attacked by a cat or a lizard gets its head stuck in a drink can - WIRES is there to help. Since 1985, we have established a network of hundreds of volunteers who rescue, rehabilitate and release sick, injured or orphaned native animals. Each year we receive over 100,000 phone calls and rescue over 56,000 native animals, from injured bluetongues to orphaned wombats. WIRES is a non-profit, non-political charity with branches operating across NSW. Over 90 per cent of our funding comes from public donations. Each year we receive a small grant from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and the NSW Department of Agriculture these grants represent less than 2.5per cent of our funding.
