Going Wild

Reintroduction for wild animals is very complex.  Once an animal has recovered from injury or disease, they go through intensive rehabilitation.  It's not easy surviving in the wild and only patients that are fit, can find food for themselves, fight off enemies if confronted and also find a mate, are suitable candidates.

The Australian Wildlife Health Centre rehabilitates many patients for release back to the wild.  Part of the release process involves cutting edge research such as radio tracking released wildlife, which can provide critical information about how former patients are actually surviving.

Explore reintroduction through fun activities where you can learn to 'track' an animal, learn about regaining fitness for return to the wild and even measure your own heart rate, a measure of fitness, and compare it to a range of other species.

REINTRODUCTION is the best outcome for wild patients and the final step in the journey.
