We’re incredibly grateful for this support! 🐾

Thanks to funding received through the Community Stewardship Grants, supported by the WA State Government’s Department of Primary Industries, we’re thrilled to be expanding diagnostic imaging for wildlife in our care.
This funding allows us to equip our Mobile Rescue Unit with field X‑ray and ultrasound capability, giving our veterinarians rapid, high‑quality imaging right where it’s needed most. With earlier and more accurate diagnosis, we can improve treatment and increase the number of native animals successfully returned to the wild.
Support like this makes a real difference for wildlife across the Southwest biodiversity hotspot — thank you for investing in their future. 💚

Tonight we celebrated something truly special — the Possum Finishing School Graduation BBQ 🐾🌿

What began months ago with tiny, fragile joeys — sometimes no bigger than a chocolate bar — ended tonight with a community coming together to celebrate their journey back to the wild.

The beautiful Western Ringtail Possum is a critically endangered species, and every single life saved is the result of an extraordinary chain of care. From the compassionate voices answering emergency wildlife calls, to the dedicated rescuers who retrieve injured or orphaned animals, the skilled veterinary surgeons and nurses who provide lifesaving treatment, the tireless wildlife rehabilitators who raise these joeys through the night, and the patient “Possum Finishing School” keepers who prepare them for life in the wild — it truly takes a village.

Tonight’s BBQ celebrated the FAWNA community who make this possible. Volunteers, carers, rescuers and supporters gathered to share stories, laughter, and the quiet pride that comes from knowing that these once-tiny joeys are now ready to reclaim their place in the wild.

Wildlife conservation isn’t just about animals — it’s about community. When people come together with a shared purpose, we can give species like the Western Ringtail Possum a second chance at a wild life.

To every volunteer, supporter and wildlife hero — thank you. 💚

Because sometimes saving a species starts with something as small as a joey the size of a chocolate bar… and a community big enough to care.

BARBED WIRE VS OWL
🚫🐾 Did you know that barbed wire can be a silent killer for our wildlife? Each year, countless animals suffer from the dangers of entanglement, wing tears, and broken limbs due to this fencing.

But together, we can make a difference! 🌿💚 Here’s how we can protect our furry and feathered friends:
1. Opt for Wildlife-Friendly Fencing: Consider smooth wire or wooden barriers that are safer for animals.
2. Build Corridors: Create safe passages for wildlife to navigate around fences and roads.
3. Spread the Word: Educate your community about the impacts of barbed wire and promote better alternatives.
4. Support Local Rescues: Get involved with organizations working to rescue and rehabilitate injured wildlife.

Let’s be the voice for those who can’t speak! 🦅💪 Share your thoughts in the comments and tag someone who cares about wildlife conservation!

People ask why they rarely see Echidna despite them being widespread in almost every Australian habitat… this is why!
