Habitat conservation and animal welfare
continue to be the main focus of many volunteer projects in Australia. This is
because natural wildlife habitats also continue to be threatened because of
environmental and manmade reasons. Fortunately, there are many different organisations
and groups that are steadfast in pursuing their mission to promote wildlife
conservation and general animal welfare. This provides you plenty of opportunities
to do your part in helping save the environment and its inhabitants from
neglect and ensuring a richer place to live in for generations to come.
Every animal species requires its own set of
environmental conditions to move around, feed, live, reproduce, and thrive. Over
time, however, we have seen these habitats destroyed either by natural disasters
or by humans. Mining, industrial and commercial projects and developments have
been at the forefront of this destruction and these kinds of threatening activities
have jeopardised the ability of wildlife to survive. Couple this with climate
change and we are witnessing two of the biggest major threats to the welfare of
the environment and its inhabitants in our lifetime. We need to see a shift in
our way of thinking and decisions makers must feel compelled to act. By
implementing policies and programs that protect natural habitats, wildlife is
also protected. In Australia, countless organisations play leading roles in
campaigning for and protecting natural animal habitats and have turned their
attention to ensuring animals who fall victim to negative human intervention of
some kind are well cared for in welfare in shelters and sanctuaries, with the
aim to release back into the wild. Animal welfare and conservation
organisations are integral in holding Governments and decision makers
accountable for shaping sound conservation policies when managing forests, National
Parks and other conservation areas to ensure that wildlife can thrive in their
natural environments.
When seeking out opportunities
to help animal welfare and habitat conservation initiatives,
it is best to find ethical volunteer recruitment organisations whose goals are
to protect animals and the environment. While many companies provide opportunities
to help, many fail in delivering sustainable projects that are required to
ensure long term change. When looking for an organisation that cares for
rescued animals and wildlife, do your homework and ask the organisation what
checks and measures they have in place to ensure the animal’s best interest are
at heart.
