Become a Wildlife Protector and make the choice to give wildlife a voice.

About the Program

By supporting the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland (Wildlife Queensland) through the Wildlife Protector Program, you are helping to ensure that we continue to campaign for wildlife in Queensland and launch new projects to help protect these animals and their habitats in the future.

Why Become a Wildlife Protector

• Give your concern for wildlife a real impact and empower Wildlife Queensland to work for wildlife on your behalf.
• Donating regularly makes a direct difference to wildlife and allows us to plan for the future to ensure quality, on-going programs.
• Strength in numbers - your contribution shows your support and is an effective way of lending us your voice when campaigning on issues affecting wildlife in Queensland.
• Your donation is 100% tax deductible.
• You choose the amount you want to give - from as little as 66c a day.

It's the easiest way for a busy person to make a real difference to wildlife in Queensland.

Wildlife Protectors receive regular updates to keep them in touch with wildlife issues and campaigns in Queensland and Australia.

Who can be a Wildlife Protector?   Anyone can be a wildlife protector - as long as you are aged 18 or over. You don't have to be an individual - a group, a business or a whole school can be a Wildlife Protector.

Background Information

In March 2004, WPSQ expanded its activities. These activities needed an immediate and sustained funding boost. The Society saw the Wildlife Protector Program as a way to empower all people in the community to make a change.
