The Australian Wildlife Society is proud to announce its annual awards, recognising and celebrating the outstanding contributions to wildlife conservation in Australia. These awards span five categories, each acknowledging the dedication and achievements in various aspects of wildlife conservation.
Wildlife Rehabilitation Award: The Unsung Heroes
The Wildlife Rehabilitation Award, with a prize of $5,000, honours individuals or small organisations dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of Australian wildlife. The role of wildlife rehabilitators is crucial, often involving extensive time, effort, and resources to care for native species, many of which are threatened and require specialised care. The Australian Wildlife Society aims to acknowledge these tireless efforts and support the preservation of native wildlife through this award.
Community Wildlife Conservation Award: Grassroots Impact
The Community Wildlife Conservation Award, also carrying a $5,000 prize, is bestowed upon a community group making significant strides in wildlife preservation. This award celebrates collective efforts at the grassroots level, where communities come together to make a lasting impact on Australia's precious wildlife.
Serventy Conservation Award: A Legacy of Love for Nature
The prestigious Serventy Conservation Award, named to honour the Serventy family’s legacy in wildlife conservation, recognises individuals who contribute to conservation out of a love for nature. This $5,000 award is particularly focused on non-professionals who have shown extraordinary dedication and commitment to conserving wildlife.
Youth Conservation Awards: The Future in Safe Hands
The Youth Conservation Awards, divided into Individual and Group categories, each offer $500 to young conservationists between 13 and 18 years old. These awards aim to encourage and recognise the younger generation's involvement in wildlife conservation, ensuring the future of Australia's natural heritage is in passionate and capable hands.
