HELP AUSTRALIAN WILDLIFE - WIRES Wildlife Rescue

About this campaign

Proceeds from shirt sales will benefit WIRES Emergency Fund. WIRES is actively working on Australian wildlife rescue and rehabilitation during one of Australia's most severe bushfire seasons.
*Quoted from WIRES website: Catastrophic fires, the worst drought in history, and record high temperatures are taking a tragic toll on native wildlife. Many animals were already struggling with a lack of water and food due to the drought. With the fires destroying unprecedented amounts of habitat, food shortages have increased and lack of suitable habitat will be a significant long-term challenge for surviving wildlife.

It is impossible to know how many animals have perished and it will be many months before the impact on wild populations can be better understood but ecologists at Sydney University have estimated over 800 million animals have been affected in NSW and over 1 billion animals in Australia since September.
