There are many International, National, State and Local groups in Australia that care for our unique and disapperaring wildlife.
Some of these groups are:
- WIRES - Australian Wildlife Rescue
- Australian Wildlife Society
- International Fund for Animal Welfare
- Australian Wildlife Conservancy
- Wildlife Preservation Society (Queensland)
WIRES - Australian Wildlife Rescue

In the aftermath of catastrophic fires, severe drought and extreme weather taking a tragic toll on wildlife, we remain focused on rescue, rehabilitation and recovery.
The last 12 months has been unlike anything WIRES and the Australian community have ever experienced. Compounding the impact of one of the worst droughts in history, massive fires raged for months in what has become known as Australia's Black Summer. Millions of hectares of land were burnt, much of which was threatened species habitat and 20% of Australian forests were lost. Species thought to be common may need to be reclassified and there are hundreds of species at risk of extinction.

From their website: We are a national not-for-profit wildlife conservation organisation. Our mission is to conserve Australia’s wildlife (flora and fauna) through national environmental education, political lobbying, advocacy, hands-on conservation work and involvement of the community.
International Fund for Animal Welfare

From their website: "What makes IFAW different from the rest? We believe individual animals matter in conservation. Our experts work with local communities and people just like you to rescue individual animals, conserve at-risk species, and safeguard natural habitats. Together, we’re building a better future for animals. One where they can thrive and coexist alongside humans."
Australian Wildlife Conservancy

From their website: Australian Wildlife Conservancy is the largest private owner and manager of land for conservation in Australia, protecting endangered wildlife across more than 6.5 million hectares in iconic regions such as the Kimberley, Cape York, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre and the Top End. Recognising that ‘business as usual’ for conservation in Australia will mean additional extinctions, AWC is developing and implementing a new model for conservation.
Wildlife Preservation Society (Queensland)

From their website:
The Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland (Wildlife Queensland) is the oldest, largest and most respected wildlife-focussed conservation group in Queensland.
For more than 55 years, the Society has played a part in each of Queensland’s major conservation issues, beginning with early campaigns to protect important habitats such as the Great Barrier Reef, the Hinchinbrook Passage and Fraser Island. Wildlife Queensland was founded to educate the community about wildlife and wildlife issues
