Every year, more than 21,000 injured, sick and orphaned native animals rely on wildlife rehabilitation organisations for rescue, veterinary treatment and rehabilitation.
Most Western Australians assume there is a government-funded wildlife rescue system ready to help.
There isn’t.
More than 80% of wildlife rescue, treatment and rehabilitation across Western Australia is carried out by just six charitable wildlife organisations, supported by around 90 smaller wildlife rehabilitation groups and licensed rehabilitators across the State.
There is a lot of very interesting information about wildlife care and what it faces in WA. The petition has been put up by www.wragwa.org/step-up-for-wildlife

I was reading about this problem just recently. I’m surprised theres so little funding for wildlife rescue places,they do such obviously good work.
