As the terms says
you will be a “Real Warrior”, a “Wildlife Warrior“, who actively contribute in
the daily care of injured and sick australian wild animals. At this point don’t
be easily mislead, you will not be cuddling sick animals or taking photographs
all the time….surprisingly 50% of people applying for a volunteer post as
a Wildlife Warrior has this expectation….The work that expects you is solid
work helping out in the daily life of wild animal patients.
What do you do as
a Wildlife Warrior Volunteer
The daily
volunteer work I was involved was mostly focused on cleaning koalas enclosures
and paste-feeding koala patients. Koalas represent the largest number of
patients at the wildlife hospital in Beerwah and the bulk of work with the
maintenance of the enclosures is done by regular volunteers. Everyone helps out
according to his or her personal abilities and skills, however you must be
prepared to take up some routine tasks as well as be confronted with occasional
tasks according to the needs or emergencies that crop up in the daily life of
the wildlife hospital.
