Wildlife Rehabilitation

Wildlife rehabilitation is the temporary care of sick, injured or orphaned native wildlife. The goal is to release healthy animals back to the wild.

Wildlife rehabilitation is regulated under The Captive Wildlife Regulations, 2021. A Wildlife Rehabilitation Licence is required to hold wildlife for rehabilitation purposes. It is not lawful for members of the public to hold native wildlife in captivity.

Individuals with concerns about sick, injured or orphaned wildlife may seek assistance from the licensed wildlife rehabilitation facilities listed below.
