WPSA Conservation Group Grants
The Council of the Wildlife Preservation Society carefully considers all requests for grants from Conservation Groups and places special emphasis on wildlife and the preservation of wildlife habitat.
2010 Conservation Group Grants
Wirrimbirra Wildlife Sanctuary
WPSA became a Major Partner in Wirrimbirra’s Country & Western in Wollondilly Concert to raise money to establish a koala enclosure. Wirrimbirra has resolved to explore the possibility of hosting koalas at Wirrimbirra Sanctuary, both as an exhibit and in the wild.
Fourth Crossing – Linda Dennis
Linda was given a grant to attend the National Wildlife Rehabilitation Conference in Adelaide in June to represent our Society as Regional Advisor.
Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, Cairns
WPSA donated funds to purchase two water tanks that were needed to act as water storage and settlement tanks for incoming water supplies to the turtle rehab tanks because the incoming water contains a lot of sediment, as the centre’s pumping site is located up a tidal creek surrounded by mud flats. This dirty water quickly blocks up the filters, creating less-than-ideal conditions in the rehab tanks. The two new water tanks were needed to act as primary settlement tanks, removing a lot of the suspended solids from the incoming water before it reaches the filters on the rehab tanks.
2009 Conservation Group Grants
Help for Wildlife, Coldstream, Victoria
To encourage their commitment to the rescue and treatment of native injured wildlife in Victoria, we donated funds towards their organisation’s work rescuing and rehabilitating native Australian wildlife affected by bushfires.
Nature Foundation South Australia
After our members’ visit to Kangaroo Island it was decided to donate funds for sea lion research on Kangaroo Island. After successfully lobbying the Minister for Environment, the South Australia Government agreed to match our donation.
2008 Conservation Group Grants
National Parks & Wildlife Service, NSW
Each year in winter a band of dedicated conservationists gather on the headland at Cape Solander in Sydney to collate data on the migration of whales from Antarctica to Australia’s northern waters. WPSA purchased a small caravan to be loaned to the whale watchers each winter to give them some relief from the cold winter winds and rain, and to use as a base for their equipment.
Central North Wildlife Care & Rescue, Tasmania
To encourage their commitment to the rescue and treatment of native injured wildlife in Tasmania we donated four monthly instalments towards the purchase of a kit shed.
Fourth Crossing – Linda Dennis
Linda’s for a passionate commitment to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of injured native animals. To facilitate the teaching of other carers we donated funds for the teaching of Fauna First Aid in Victoria (wombat care) and Deniliquin (general wildlife care).
Tolga Bat Rescue & Research Inc
On one of our members’ wildlife study tours, they visited Tolga Bat Hospital and were so impressed with the volunteers and their commitment to the rescue and treatment of native injured wildlife in Queensland, we were asked to donate funds to go towards the goal of rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing bats that would otherwise die.
