What We Do

On Country

Each year, over 10 million animals fall victim to collisions with vehicles, suffering injury or death on our roadsides. This heartbreaking loss of life and suffering drives us to find innovative solutions to reduce these incidents and equip everyday Aussies with the information to act effectively when faced with an injured animal.

In Oceans

Australia generates a staggering 3.5 million metric tons of plastic waste annually, resulting in over 8 trillion pieces of plastic polluting our precious waters. Ghost nets, in particular, contribute significantly to marine pollution, with approximately 640,000 abandoned nets endangering marine life in northern Australia alone.

Balu inspired many to be patient, caring and to appreciate the environment around us, as well as having a love for all living things, especially the ocean. Balu sadly passed away in 2016 at the young age of 1 year, from consuming 1080 poison, on land nearby to farmland in South Australia, which was absolutely devastating.

1080 is a toxic and awful poison that is still used to this day for the control of many species, native and non-native. It is incredibly toxic, and causes excruciating death to creatures it is consumed by. Unfortunately there is no anti-dote to 1080, and nothing could be done on a veterinary level to save Balu, many people lose beloved dogs, horses, and other pets across Australia and New Zealand as a result of this toxic poison, it is also unknown the statistics of effects on non-target wildlife.

We hope to encourage users of this poision to move away from the use of 1080 poison, in hope for more humane and less detrimental alternatives. You can help fight to ban 1080 poison, at the link here http://ban1080.org.au/

Three Pillars of Action

Rehabilitation

A focus on short-term, immediate action by enabling our own care for injured marine life and native animals, while funding and connecting wildlife carers across Australia.

Education

Education is key to creating lasting change and we strive to raise awareness and share knowledge to foster a community of responsible environmental stewards.

Preservation

For long-term impact, we have a vision to acquire land with significant ecological value to protecting and preserving habitats while creating a haven for rehabilitation programs.
