“I may be a KID but I AM Making a DIFFERENCE!!!!”
BUT being a Wildlife Warrior is not only about raising money for conservation and wildlife it is also about teaching people that we CAN live along side our wildlife,It’s trying to get people to do the right thing example throw your rubbish in a bin not on the ground. Recycle and reuse, Don’t use plastic bags as they are killing off our wildlife and polluting our land and waterways. please don’t use straws as they end up in our water ways and they ahve been known to kill wildlife by getting syuck in their throats and stomach.
Education: Working with people here in Australia and around the world so they can understand that we can live along side with wildlife and we do not need to fearful of them . Wildlife Warriors work together with FFI in Cambodia they have shown the Cambodians a way to keep elephants away from their crops, They have planted Chilli around their crops because elephants do not like chilli therefore stay away from the crops they have planted to earn money from.
Never ever buy products that come from endangered species, like tigers teeth,elephant tusks,Fur rugs,Fur coats you would be horrified to find out just how many pelts it takes to make one fur coat. WE humans have the wonderful opportunity to make clothing items from many types of material we do NOT need to wear real animal fur,the animals need it we don’t.
ANWSER THE CALL:
I am collecting mobile phones,Old ones unwanted ones any type you don’t want.These are NOT for me. As you know I AM aWildlife Warrior and right now I am on a mission to help save Gorillas in Africa.
Habitat destruction and poaching are just two of the factors driving this greatape to extinction. Coltan is a rare mineral that is used in the production ofelectronic devices, including mobile phones. Unfortunately, most of the world’s coltan reserves are found in the same region as gorillas and the mining for thisrare mineral is destroying their last remaining habitat.By recycling your old mobile phones, not only are you reducing the demand for coltan but also helping to raise funds for Gorilla conservation.
If you live in Melbourne shoot me an email and I can either pick up your old phone/phones or send you the bag you need to send your phone in .If your near Auztralia Zoo go there for a visit and collect a bag to send your phone/phones in.While your there grab a few extra and hand them out to family and friends. The more phones we can collect the better for the sake of the gorillas. Or you can even go online and print out some labels to send your phone/phones off.
It is trying our best to stop actions that we know are wrong therefore I am asking you all the petitions below if you have not all ready.If you can also please forward the URLs to everyone you know we have to do the right thing.

James and Andrew were called up to Peachester for a very sad rescue. Dogs had attacked an adult female Koala and Joey. Sadly the mother Koala died before the team arrived, succumbing to the injuries.
James and Andy were able to carefully rescue the Joey from a nearby tree, and safely transport it back to the AWH for treatment. Luckily the Joey is almost old enough to survive on its own, and will be released at Peachester soon!
Sadly it’s not just wild dogs that attack native wildlife, not a day goes by where there isn’t another rescue call for a dog attack snake or koala or lizard! If you have a dog at home, bring it inside or lock it away at night time, and let our native wildlife move through your backyard without danger!
If you find an animal that is sick or injured, please call Australia Zoo Rescue on 5436 2000.

Late one afternoon the AZ Rescue crew got a call from a family business at Elimbah. They were reporting a magpie that was up a large gum tree, attached to a nest with fishing line! The rescue crew got there just in time as the sun was setting and quickly hooked up our lines and Andy began to climb!
Magpies quite often use lots of different types of nesting materials to make things nice and comfortable for their young chicks, and fishing line is sometimes used as part of the nest.
Once Andy was up near the nest, he noticed that it was actually one of the parents stuck in the line, and there were two chicks in the nest. The other Adult was calling out from a tree nearby, reassuring the chicks and the injured parent.
Andy hooked up one of our trusty tools and was able to cut the line, and Kado caught the Magpie from below. Once on the ground, we were able to cut away the fishing line that was tangled all through the legs and wings of the Magpie. We transported the injured Maggie back to the AWH for treatment and Andy spent the next half hour up the tree, cutting away all the extra line from the nest so that the chicks would have an injury free start to their lives!
For any Wildlife Emergencies please call Australia Zoo Rescue on 5436 2000

The Year 1 students of Talara Primary College had a fantastic day at the Australia Zoo recently. We saw lots of great animals and we even got to touch some animals we had been learning about at school. The crocodile felt bumpy and the koala was soft and furry. It was amazing to see so many animal babies. The cassowary chicks were running around looking for food and the new koala joey was adorable as it clung to its mother. We would love to know how old the joey is. We have learnt that koala joeys are about the size of a jellybean when they are born and then stay in their mothers pouch until they are fully developed. The wombats were playful as they chased a zoo keeper and the croc show was by far everyone’s favourite. Thanks to all the staff for making it a memorable experience had by all.

The Rescue Crew received a phone call from worried locals south of Eumundi – there was an Emu running across the road with a big injury to its neck. The Rescue Crew loaded up our Emu Box, wrangled Bonnie the Australia Zoo Veterinarian away from her patients, and quickly headed up!
Once we arrived at the property, we searched and searched for the injured Emu but it had escaped the contained area through some barbed wire, and all that remained was a few feathers caught in the barbs. After searching the nearby properties, we had to wait for another sighting to resume the rescue.
A few days later, we received a call from the Post Office at Eumundi – An Injured Emu had just walked down the main street, past the post office and down into the fields below! We asked our local carers to locate him, but once again, the elusive Emu had disappeared!
The very next morning, we received a call from a family near the main street; they had managed to corral the Emu into a cattle yard and had closed the gates! SUCCESS! So we headed straight there, Emu box in tow, to check out the injuries! We were able to tell from the injury that it was possibly a wild dog attack, and so time was of the essence!
Briano and James had the difficult job of containing the Emu, while Kado secured a bag over his head to calm him down, once secure, the team transported him into the Emu Box, and back to the AWH! We were able to have a quick glimpse of the injury – it didn’t look good.
Once at the Australian Wildlife Hospital, Dr Peter McKinney quickly anaesthetised the Emu, and all of the team were on standby to help out if he woke up. After over an hour and a half of working on him, and perfectly sewing up his open trachea and neck, sadly the Emu was not strong enough to come out of the anaesthetic and he passed away.
If you have a Wildlife rescue or concern, please call Australia Zoo Rescue on 5436 2000.

After all these years, I want to tell you all how profoundly Steve influenced my son, Trevor. We have always love animals and have a small reptilian collection of our own. My son, Trevor grew up watching Steve’s adventures on Animal Planet and fully intended to study under him, journeying to the Australian Zoo after graduation. He cried for weeks after Steve passed away, but is now happy knowing that the zoo and Steve’s message will survive. This young man, Trevor, living in Southwest Florida caught and cared for snakes, turtles, alligators, and other reptiles nearly every day. Before, he gets too old I want to share this with you as a furthering tribute to Steve Irwin:
When he was 12, Trevor was fishing at one of the local fresh water lakes when he saw an alligator lying on the bank. The ‘gator looked decimated, dried out, and nearly dead. He went to it and helped it into the water, but the ‘gator thrashed, rolled, and did not act right. Trevor pulled him back on shore. A homeowner came out and told Trevor the ‘gator showed up about three days before and hadn’t moved from the bank. Trevor instinctively knew it would die, so he ran home, tied his wagon to his bike, dumped out toys from a rubbermaid tub and returned to save the ‘gator. Upon getting the alligator home, Trevor called a group called C.R.O.W. (Care and Rehabilitation of Wildlife) located on Sanibel Island, Fl. As members of the SW Florida Herpetological Society, we knew they help distressed indigenous species. CROW came and collected the alligator. Trevor gave them all the information he could and they saved the alligator’s life. They determined the alligator sustained permanent neurological damage likely from being struck by an automobile. Although the animal could never survive in the wild with the injuries he has, CROW donated him to a local alligator zoo where he will be cared for and make baby ‘gators for the rest of his life. Attached is a picture of Trevor with his ‘gator.
