Wildlife Emergencies

Extreme weather events like bushfires, droughts and floods mean even more injured and displaced animals come through our doors. In wildlife emergencies, our expert team of Vets and Vet Nurses work around the clock to care for impacted Australian animals.

Many of these animals need ongoing medical care and rehabilitation, and many of their populations have been nearly decimated. Others rescued from the path of fire and drought will require shelter and food until they there is safe habitat for them to return to but many have no homes to go back to.

The catastrophic drought and bushfires of 2019/2020 saw the loss of 1 billion native animals and 12 million hectares of critical habitat. Fortunately, thanks to our wonderful supporters, Taronga Wildlife Hospital staff were able to respond with emergency care and shelter for hundreds of impacted animals, many of which were able to be re-released into the wild.
