Wildlife Training
Why does our wildlife need our help?
Our wildlife populations face many dangers as their habitat decreases and they are forced to live closer to us. The biggest dangers are cats, dogs, cars, poisons, loss of native habitat and more frequent extreme weather events.
When concerned members of the public find wildlife that is sick, injured or orphaned, they look to vets and wildlife carers to step in and help. In a future of climate change, wildlife carers will be more important than ever, as we have seen with the critically endangered Western Ringtail Possum in W.A.
Are you interested in becoming a wildlife volunteer?
We recommend you start by attending an introductory course listed below to learn about a particular species and about volunteering with SOWFI.
We hope at the end of the information session you would like to commit to joining us and helping us reach our vision of being a respected, knowledgeable and caring group of people dedicated to conservation, education and research of SA's wildlife.
