More than 420mm of relentless rain has hammered Aussie Ark’s wildlife sanctuary in the Barrington Tops – with even more forecast in the coming days. Fences are down. Enclosures are flooded. Endangered animals are at risk.

But thanks to the massive outpouring of support, urgent repairs have already begun, vital food drops are occurring and animals are being safely moved out of danger.

In a matter of days, extreme rainfall devastated our sanctuary. The impact has been catastrophic:

• Critical wildlife fences destroyed
• Enclosures submerged
• Roads washed away
• Power outages across the site
• Endangered animals urgently relocated for their safety

Our dedicated team has been working around the clock — rescuing animals, delivering emergency food drops, and beginning essential infrastructure repairs.

Because of the generous response to our Emergency Flood Appeal:

• Urgent repairs to fences and enclosures are now underway
• Animal relocations to safer areas are ongoing
• Emergency feeding and care are continuing across the sanctuary

But with significant damage remaining, our fight is far from over.

We don’t need volunteers – we need funding.

Thanks to our amazing supporters, including the Australian Reptile Park, help is on the ground. But continued donations are vital to keep up this life-saving work.

Your donation will go directly to:

• Emergency fence and enclosure repairs
• Habitat restoration
• Clean-up and recovery of infrastructure
• Wildlife transport and ongoing care
