About
With the devastating fires in the Hampton, Pechey, Crows Nest & Ravensbourne areas our Koala & Rescue Volunteers have been flat out retrieving burnt koalas and injured wildlife. Our Koala Rescue Equipment is old and worn and having to share rescue poles and cages and nets between 3 koala rescuers has proven very un-practical and is hindering our search efforts. Our old gear has been very good to us and we love it and all the animals we have rescued using it, but now we are in desperate need of new specialty rescue poles, koala transport cages enabling more koalas to be rescued from the fires and transported to vets and wildlife hospitals promptly for immediate medical attention.
We have been rescuing and rehabilitating Wildlife in the Greater Toowoomba Region since 2006. As volunteers we have done this work without ever asking for support or donations and have always been self -funded and will continue to do so into the future. This request is a once-off and is the first time we have asked the community for support. Any financial support will be greatly appreciated to put towards new koala poles, cages and nets, and we will personally fund however much extra is required so we can continue our volunteer koala rescue work to help save the poor burnt koalas and wildlife effected by these fires. One rescue pole costs $2000, the transport cages are $120 each and the nets vary in price per size.
We hold wildlife rehabilitation permits with DES including a Koala Specialist Species Rehabilitation permit, we are QWRC insured and have over 10 years experience in koala rescue and 13 years in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation in the Greater Toowoomba Region.
Your consideration of assistance is greatly appreciated to assist saving burnt koalas and wildlife.
URGENT SUPPORT REQUIRED TO PURCHASE MUCH NEEDED KOALA RESCUE EQUIPMENT. Dear friends of Toowoomba Region. We have never needed funding more so than now - we are finding ourselves in various locations with multiple koala rescues that are starting to come in from the fires and our equipment is worn.
