Flying Fox Canungra Camp Emergency URGENT APPEAL

sbeactivity_hands2.gifExtra hands are desperately needed on site to assist the carers -

NO VACCINATION NEEDED FOR GENERAL HELPING JOBS

- sterilising bottles and making baby formula, cutting up fruit.

PLEASE VOLUNTEER whatever time you can - all assistance is vitally important and much needed. Each minute volunteered - frees up bat carers to give care to our flying fox orphans.

200 - increased to 300 grey bubs from Canugra Camp came into care suffering dehydration, exposure, maggots and various stages of pneumonia. Hundreds of these orphaned baby flying foxes are down due to the aftermath of the violent storms, heavy winds and constant rain. Our grateful thanks go to the many tired and very dedicated carers who lovingly attend to our wildlife.  Our native baby bats need around the clock feeding - taking time and patience.

Thank you for all the donations that have been and are being received including three dryers. The broken washing washing machine has generously replaced. Many thanks to those donors. Updates will be added re large items.

ALWAYS needed are food - boxes of fruit - apples, pears, rock melon, grapes but not citrus please and Kari Care - human baby formula - birth to 1 month.

BUSINESS PEOPLE - come on board - these flying foxes are front line indicators of our world health and essential pollinators of many trees.
The situation is urgent - if your business can help - it would be very greatly appreciated !

The highly specialised teams of bat carers at Canungra are working hard day and night - feeding 200 grey bubs round the clock. Our carers desperately need help - we need VOLUNTEERS on hand to attend to general clean up duties - sterilizing bottles, feeding equipment and all extra duties that extra hands on board can do.
Our grateful thanks go to the many tired and very dedicated carers and volunteers who are attending to our wildlife.
