WHAT TO DO? If you find an injured or orphaned bird or animal, the best solution is to contact a wildlife carer, vet or wildlife sanctuary than to care for it yourself. Animals are often in shock after an accident, and need specialist care, requiring food, medicine and equipment specifically designed for them. The first 24 hours are crucial. Animals sometimes die when people, with the best of intentions, have given the wrong food, or not taken the appropriate first aid measures. RESCUED! NANA is proud to have been part of an initiative to create a book about wildlife care, as written by carers from around Australia and New Zealand. We are selling this book "Rescued!" to raise funds to support the work being done by our volunteers. You can help us by buying a copy, and then sit down and read some of the funny, moving and inspirational stories about our work. more..... HELP! With the coming of spring, and the recent storms, our volunteers are all flat out rescuing and raising orphaned birds and mammals. We are just about run off our feet. If you can live on the NSW South Coast and can help by donating your time, money or resources - we would really love to hear from you. Please contact us and let us know how you can help. WILDLIFE FRIENDLY FENCING Every year, thousands of native animals die needlessly, caught on barbed wire or entangled in netting and fencing that is inappropriate to the wildlife in the area. While much of the barbed wire is erected in situations where it is not even needed, experience has found that wildlife entanglements tend to occur in very specific circumstances - such as when barbed wire is next to source of food or water. The Native Animal Network Association proudly supports the Wildlife Friendly Fencing Project. To learn more, visit their website at www.wildlifefriendlyfencing.com. NSW WILDLIFE COUNCIL
