Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (Incorporated) is a not-for-profit organisation committed to the protection and welfare of native wildlife.

Kanyana is run entirely by volunteers from the local community, with the generous support of local businesses.

It takes over 100 volunteers to cover two shifts per day, every day of the year. The day-to-day activities of the volunteers provide for all of the needs of the animals and the operation of the centre. Specific tasks include nursing and feeding sick and injured birds and animals, cleaning and maintenance, administration and public education.

New volunteers are always welcome.

Local businesses support Kanyana through donations of food, consumables and funding.

Veterinarian Dr Tim Oldfield and staff at Wattle Grove Veterinary Hospital provide invaluable veterinary advice and services.

Kanyana's aims are:

• To rehabilitate sick, injured, orphaned and displaced wildlife.
• To participate in the Department of Environment and Conservation's (DEC) Western Shield endangered species captive breeding program.
• To provide education for the community about the need to preserve wildlife habitats and ecosystems, and to value wildlife as a resource for a healthier living planet.
