Wildlife Caring (Please note these links are not "live" yet. You will need to copy and paste to your browser.) OZARK is a well-established and respected resource, providing quality information, and an independent, non-political national network for wildlife workers and carers, for over a decade. Resources on the OZARK website have been checked by vets or known authorities in the field, and are genuine, quality, and original. The purpose of OZARK is to provide education, information and support to wildlife workers and carers, to help achieve optimal standards and successful outcomes for wildlife in rehabilitation and care. www.ozarkwild.org Ozark administrator: admin@ozarkwild.org FAQ: http://www.ozarkwild.org/faq.php **************************************************************** *New Queensland Wildlife group......* The *Wildlife Australian Emergency Rehabilitation & Conservation Service (WACS)* focuses on reducing the suffering of our Australian native animals, whether sick, injured or orphaned; their welfare throughout rehabilitation and in the wild; the threats to their natural habitat; their future quality of life and the ultimate survival of every protected species in the appropriate natural environment. The vision for WACS is to reach out to the wider community in order to educate and engage others in partaking in the conservation of our wildlife (flora and fauna); to serve by understanding the vital role that each species plays in the formation of balance in the Australian environment; to respect, protect and live in harmony with our wildlife for their future survival, and our own.

These volunteers are licensed under the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. Most volunteers work within a group although some are individually licensed. The NWC is the coming together of many different groups and individuals to work collectively on behalf of wildlife and wildlife rehabilitators in New South Wales. As the second state council to be formed in Australia we are part of the first steps towards forming a national body which will provide a voice for wildlife rehabilitators and more importantly the wildlife of Australia. The website for further information about the NWC can be found at www.nwc.org.au . By clicking on papers you will be able to access the first two NWC newsletters. ***************************************************************** We often get emails and phone calls from people wanting to become involved in wildlife caring. We always refer them to a local wildlife carer group so they can get good local information and expert assistance. Now Greypath have put an Introductory Course in Wildlife Care on their website. Many seniors would like to become involved in helping wildlife at a local level, and this introduction, which is continually upgraded, is a very handy explanation of what wildlife caring is all about. It’s a very good introduction for those interested in becoming a wildlife carer. Of course it’s still important that anyone wanting to become involved with wildlife caring, should belong to a wildlife care group or network. http://www.greypath.com/taxonomy_menu/44/193 **************************************************************** New Queensland Wildlife group......The Wildlife Australian Emergency Rehabilitation & Conservation Service (WACS) provides aid to all protected native species and their habitat.
