We’re excited to launch our new primary school education program, Wildlife Guardians, designed to inspire the next generation to care for South Australia’s native animals. Delivered by the experienced rescuers and educators, this engaging program introduces students to real wildlife rescue stories, the challenges animals face, and practical ways children and families can help protect wildlife in their communities. Schools across South Australia can now book this interactive, curriculum-linked program to bring wildlife conservation learning directly into the classroom.
Wildlife Rescue South Australia All Species 100% Volunteer
SOWFI is a science-led, front-line wildlife rescue and rehabilitation organisation.
Our volunteers care for orphaned, sick, injured and displaced wildlife and relieve suffering through effective rescue and rehabilitation, and releasing back into the wild whenever possible.
SOWFI offers training and supports research that benefits our unique South Australian wildlife. We advocate on behalf of our wildlife and create community and government awareness of their beauty and value to ensure they remain an essential part of South Australian for generations to come. Our volunteers fulfil many varied roles, which collectively, and in collaboration with other organisations, contributes to the short and long-term welfare of our native wildlife and the conservation of their habitat in South Australia.
With the ongoing loss of habitat due to tree clearing/pruning, bigger houses on smaller blocks, new housing developments and a preference for tidy gardens, our wildlife find it difficult to have somewhere to sleep at night. This puts them at greater danger of predators and removes natural protection from our extreme weather.
You can help by putting up boxes in your backyard. SOWFI recommends looking for boxes made by Faunature in your local garden centre or order online on the link below.
