When to use anti-inflamatories

When wildlife is injured, we often have to deliberate whether to use anti-inflammatories or not.

Inflammation is the second stage of healing and begins right after the injury when the wounded blood vessels leak transudate (water, salt and protein) causing localised swelling.

OTHER WILDLIFE INITIATIVES

Platypus Conservation

The platypus is one of the world’s most remarkable animals.

The Australian Platypus Conservancy is working hard to unlock some of the key scientific mysteries which still surround the species, and also conducts a wide range of conservation programs and environmental education initiatives.

Hands-on Assistance

Hands-on skills would be also greatly appreciated such as construction skills (e.g. building pens), technology (e.g. making cards, sharing information), the arts (e.g. photography, film making), tailoring (e.g. sewing animal bags, making burrow flaps, making items for sale), domestic duties (manning stalls), animal husbandry (cleaning enclosures), conservation work, marketing, as well as work on the field.

Because of licensing regulations and duty of care, we need interested persons to have working with children accreditation, character references and to demonstrate a willingness to acquire new skills.
