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.

2004 Conservation Group Grants

Donation to the RSPCA wildlife shelter in Canberra
In 2004 the Wildlife Preservation Society made a cash donation to the RSPCA Wildlife shelter that was burnt in the January bushfires. RSPCA Wildlife operates within the RSPCA (ACT) Inc where there is one fulltime Wildlife Officer supported by a large, loose network of volunteers. RSPCA Wildlife rescues and rehabilitates injured and/or orphaned wildlife in the Australian Capital Territory. The RSPCA Wildlife Steering Committee meets regularly to schedule and plan training courses, public awareness-raising, fund-raising and other activities, and to discuss current issues.

Donation for research into roadkill
The Wildlife Preservation Society of Australia awarded a research grant of $2,000 to Vanessa Morrissey an Honours Student from the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences at University of New South Wales to assist with her project on fauna-sensitive road design and roadkill in the Royal National Park. The project aims to collect, collate and analyse statistics on wildlife vehicle collisions, as well as developing, deploying and field testing collision abatement technologies. Vanessa’s project is concerned with the statistical phase of the project in a temperate climate (the Royal National Park). Other statistics have been collected from Fowlers Gap in the arid zone and Tumut in the snowy mountains. MORE
