Each year, RSPCA Qld’s wildlife team provides care to thousands of sick, injured and orphaned wild animals, and assists in dealing with tens of thousands of wildlife-related calls to the RSPCA’s Call Centre.
In 2010/2011, RSPCA Qld admitted 7,490 wildlife patients across the organisation, with 6,348 receiving veterinary care at the Wildlife Hospital. This represents a 15% increase in admissions on the previous year, and a 44% increase on 2008/2009.
With the rapid expansion of the human population bringing about land-clearing for urban development, wildlife casualties are expected to continue to rise. Therefore, it is essential to continually expand the capacity and resilience of RSPCA's Wildlife focus.
