A huge thank you to Warriors 4 Wildlife for featuring Dutch Thunder Wildlife Shelter in last month’s Shelter Spotlight and for generously providing us with a grant to purchase an incredible new piece of equipment that is going to make a real difference to our rescue work.
Thanks to their support and another donation we received we have been able to purchase a thermal imaging monocular, which was highly recommended to us by another wildlife shelter, thanks Shelley👍.
This amazing technology can detect heat signatures and changes in temperature allowing us to locate sick, injured and distressed animals much more quickly, especially during nighttime rescues.
In the past, searching thick bushland, tree tops, roadside vegetation and long grass could take hours of painstaking work.
With this thermal imaging equipment, we will be able to identify animals far more efficiently, making rescues quicker, easier and safer for both our rescuers and the animals we are trying to help.
This equipment will have a significant impact on the work we do and will help us give wildlife the best possible chance of receiving the care they need in the quickest time.
Thank you to Warriors 4 Wildlife and all of their amazing volunteers for supporting wildlife carers and shelters like ours. Your dedication and generosity are helping save countless native animals every day and we are incredibly grateful.
