WIRES Wildlife Rescue Project

Support the rescue and rehabilitation of Australia’s native wildlife. Teams build essential resources such as joey pouches, possum dreys, or habitat boxes for WIRES volunteers.

The Experience

This hands-on conservation experience brings your team together to support the rescue and rehabilitation of Australia’s native wildlife. Participants work in teams to create essential resources used by wildlife carers, choosing to make joey pouches, possum dreys, or habitat boxes. Alongside the build, teams learn about the challenges facing native animals and the critical role of wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. The session combines practical teamwork with purpose, giving participants the opportunity to contribute directly to the care and recovery of injured, orphaned, and displaced animals.

Why This Experience Matters?

Australia’s native wildlife faces increasing threats from habitat loss, urban expansion, extreme weather events, and natural disasters. Every year, hundreds of thousands of animals require rescue, treatment, and long-term care. Resources such as joey pouches, habitat boxes, and possum dreys are essential for wildlife carers, providing safe shelter, warmth, and protection during rehabilitation and after release. Your team’s contribution also supports frontline rescue services, wildlife transport, emergency response, and ongoing care: helping ensure injured and displaced animals have the best possible chance to recover and return to the wild.
