Thank You!
Today you did an awesome thing!! You cared enough to give our SOWFI 24/7 Wildlife Rescue & Advice Line a call or dropped a creature in need to a vet. It's a wonderful thing to help another species on this planet. With over 2000 calls a month in the busy months of Spring and Summer, they need all the help they can get.
SOWFI volunteers will help to coordinate and rescue ANY species, not just the cute and cuddly ones. In fact many other organisations and vets refer animals on to us!
If you think our volunteers are great and you support the work we do helping South Australia's wildlife, you may like to do more yourself? Here are some ways you can!

Email our Premier to support our request for funding
In May this year, the South Australian Government announced funding to “support the wildlife rescue and rehabilitation sector.” Like many in our community, we were hopeful. It felt like a long-overdue acknowledgement that native wildlife — so often impacted by human activity — deserves meaningful support, and that the volunteer organisations on the front line might finally be recognised.
Sadly, we then learned that not a single dollar of this funding will reach the frontline rescue and rehabilitation groups who respond every day to sick, injured and orphaned wildlife — organisations like SOWFI that the public turns to in moments of urgency and compassion. While we continue to advocate strongly, our voices alone are not being heard. If you’ve ever called us for help, cared about the outcome of an animal, or value the work volunteers do across South Australia, we ask you to speak up. Please consider emailing Premier Peter Malinauskas to share how you feel and why genuine support for frontline wildlife carers matters to you and to our state.
Together, community voices can create the change our wildlife urgently needs.

Join us this October for our Walk4Wildlife Challenge!
We need your help to keep a Wildlife Rescue vehicle on the road 7 days a week to be able to respond quickly to wildlife that is sick, injured and orphaned. Last year we took 5500 calls for wildlife that needed our help. You made one of those calls thank you!
