Koala
WILDLIFE EXTINCTION
The iconic Koala species has recently been listed as an endangered species vulnerable to extinction in NSW, ACT and QLD. WIRES work with a growing number of sick and injured koalas sent to specialised carers for rehabilitation.
Wombat
WILDLIFE EDUCATION
The Northern Hairy-nosed wombat is listed as Critically Endangered and is presumed extinct in NSW. Mange is the biggest threat to remaining wombat species in NSW, and is estimated to be present in 90% of local populations. WIRES has introduced a new Community Mange Treatment Program to help battle the disease.
Kangaroo

There are 15 species of kangaroos and wallabies in NSW, with a significant number now listed as threatened in NSW. Every year, WIRES attend to a growing number of joeys orphaned through vehicle collisions requiring specialised care before returning to the wild.
Echidna
WILDLIFE REHABILITATION
Echidnas are Australia’s most widespread native mammal. Along with the platypus, they are the only monotremes – egg laying mammals. Every year, WIRES attend to a growing number of infant echidna ‘puggles’ orphaned through vehicle collisions needing specialised care before returning to the wild.
Galah
WILDLIFE RESCUE
Galahs are found throughout Australia and are the most common species of the cockatoo family. Galahs can survive up to 25 years in the wild. Around breeding season in spring and summer, WIRES receives thousands of calls to rescue galahs and other native bird species.
