Your donation can support the work of Zoos Victoria and the Australian Wildlife Health Centre, all year long.  

Throughout the world habitats are being lost and introduced species are decimating native wildlife.

At Zoos Victoria we seek to build lasting relationships between people and wildlife. We dream of a future in which humans live in balance with the natural world.

You can be a part of this mission by adopting your favourite animal. Your donation helps fund the highest standard of food, expert veterinary treatment and daily care for our 350 species, many of whom are endangered.

For as little as $50 you will receive a 12-month adoption and a personalised adoption package containing:

• a personalised certificate
• a glossy photo of your animal
• fact sheet about your animal
• bi-annual issues of our official supporters' magazine Animis

It's easy. Just choose your animal and call us on 03 9285 9314, fax on 03 9285 9378.
