The hands of vets caring for a micro bat who was admitted to the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital on December 19, 2024 in Byron Bay, Australia. As Australia's bushfire season approaches, the only all-species wildlife hospital between Sydney and the Gold Coast has been forced to reduce its opening hours over Christmas as surging patient numbers take their toll on the humans who provide the vital veterinary service free of charge, 7 days a week. Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital is seeking financial support from philanthropic foundations and corporates to establish a Wildlife Investment Trust underpinning the conservation charity's own efforts to raise funds through events and advertising campaigns to source public donations.
