18.01.2022 Rescue success! This beautiful, big, female Echidna found herself trapped in a yard with a few large dogs. Not the safest place to dig her new burrow. After a time consuming muddy rescue, she is happy and safe and has already dug herself down into the dirt in a much safer spot Please call us at Wildlife Rescue South Coast on our 24/7 hotline : 0417238921 if you see a native animal requiring assistance. ...

10.01.2022 A message below from our Northern branch of WRSC who cover the areas from Batemans Bay up to Kiama. Please feel free to message me on THIS page if you have any offers of help or enquires. I will endeavour to get back to you asap. Many Thanks, Shannon ... Page Admin. *********We would like to thank everyone who has offered to help our volunteers and injured wildlife in the aftermath of the bushfires within our area, this is greatly appreciated by all our members. WRSC have been receiving many calls and messages from members of the public who are wanting to help in both the bushfire and drought crisis. We would like to thank the community for their concern about our local wildlife and express gratitude for the generous offers of help that are being forwarded to us. The fires are still raging at the moment and the Princes Highway is closed to all vehicles from Ulladulla to Batemans Bay, to other than authorised fire and rescue vehicles and personnel. Consequently normal procedures are that we are unable to enter the areas and it will not be until later that any wildlife that may have been displaced move into more populated areas and are reported to us. At present, there is nothing we are able to do to rescue animals from the active fire zones as it is unsafe to go into these areas and access is open to fire fighting personnel only. If and when there is an opportunity to respond, we will be doing all we can to assist injured animals. Sadly in severe fires, very little wildlife survive and its not until later that animals that may have been displaced from their habitat move into more populated areas and are reported to us. Of course if anyone in the area of the fires do find injured animals please do not hesitate to contact our hotline on 0418.427214 and we will discuss their possible rescue with RFS officers. Please do not call our hotline to offer assistance at the moment as we need to keep it open for general rescue calls. Messages to our Facebook page may not be seen immediately but we will endeavour to reply as soon as possible. Should you wish to assist us we suggest you consider donating to WRSC which will help us greatly to pay for any medication, bandages, and vet fees that will eventually be required. Following the fires we will also need to purchase many water containers and food for remaining wildlife in the area and due to the drought, this is going to be very costly. You can donate online by going to www.wildlife-rescue.org.au and clicking on the donate button, or you can also donate by cheque to PO Box 666 NOWRA 2541 and please provide contact details so a receipt can be posted to you if you require one. https://www.wildlife-rescue.org.au/

07.01.2022 On Saturday the 28th September, Police were notified of a wildlife carnage incident at Tura Beach near Merimbula on the Far South Coast of NSW. In a deliberate ...and sadistic act, two men have been charged with running over around 20 adult and juvenile Eastern Grey Kangaroos which included mothers and their pouch joeys. Some of these adults were left surviving, so badly injured that they had to be euthanised. Wildlife carers and organisations across the state (and country!) are already inundated with injured and orphaned wildlife coming into the busier spring and summer seasons. In the aftermath Wildlife Rescue South Coast members in collaboration with WIRES, have taken two of the three surviving orphans into our care. Meet Nullah meaning ‘war spear’ and Chance both Eastern Grey Kangaroo orphaned boys, who have now lost their mothers and will require ongoing care for the next year or so to ensure the can be returned to the wild where they belong. As wildlife carers we try to undo some of the suffering caused to our wildlife but we couldn't do it without support from members of the public! Our carers dedicate countless hours to rescuing, rehabilitating and rewilding native species so if you can find it in your heart to help us support them, please consider donating towards Nullah and Chance’s ongoing care.
