The ACT Government is considering recommendations that would let farmers legally shoot wombats – without having tried non-lethal solutions first.
Support our campaign for evidence-based solutions that enable people and wildlife to live alongside each other.
Founder and President of Wombat Rescue NSW/ACT Inc (~ Wombat Rescue), Yolandi Vermaak, emigrated to Australia in 2013 and fell in love with wombats.
Wombat Rescue was born after she started doing rescue drives on rural roads to find injured, shot or orphaned wombats that needed help.
We are now a passionate team dedicated to the mission of Wombat Rescue.
Our mission is to protect, support and rescue wombats through education, advocacy, and in-field services.
The focus of Wombat Rescue is to provide road rescue to wombats in need; facilitate and implement population size mange treatment programs on public and private land; provide practical advice and tools to landowners to successfully cohabitate with wombats as well as to provide training courses and education and awareness activities to shine a light on the plight of wombats.
