Help wildlife rescuers treat and transport injured native animals
DID YOU KNOW?
Saving single use patient Air Assisted Transfer Mats from landfill can save the day for Australia’s wildest patients, their rescuers and carers?
Across the country, Haines single patient use AAT mats are being given a second life, helping wildlife rescuers treat and transport injured native animals.
Used AAT matts are an invaluable resource for wildlife rescuers, enabling animals to be moved safely and comfortably.
They are in high demand, but short supply, with the vast majority being discarded. But you can help.
