WAO Thanks kind businesses for their donations!

Welcome to the

Wombat Awareness Organisation   

Wombat Awareness Organisation Ltd (WAO) is a non-profit organisation specifically established to raise the public perception and protection of these adorable misunderstood Australians.

Wombats are not in plague proportions, yet they are trapped, poisoned, shot and treated like vermin. They are undeniably intelligent, sensitive creatures possessing incredible personality and attitude and not to mention absolutely gorgeous! 

Underestimation of their needs in captivity, habitat destruction, cars, legal and illegal culling, diseases, Sarcoptic mange, isolation of colonies, competition from rabbits for food and the worst drought on record is exactly what these unique Aussies face everyday. 

We here @ WAO just LOVE wombats and we work to protect and enhance the lives of each and every wombat whether they be living in the wild or captivity.

WAO is based in the heart of the Murraylands. Here we have the best of both worlds! The Riverland/Murraylands populations of Southern Hairy Nosed Wombats on the opposite side of the beautiful River Murray and Bare Nosed Wombat habitat only a few hours away!

Believe it or not, the most common link between wombats and public perception comes from zoo's. Unfortunately, wombat enclosures are small, barron and boring for its resident and portray the wrong image of such an intelligent animal. You can help to improve the lives of captive wombats by contacting WAO who is working with communities and zoo's to change the enclosures and the lives of their residents.        'Sponsor your local Wombat Program' 

  

        

Every one of these animals has needed intensive care.

Facilities are desperately needed to save more lives.

Please help by becoming members today!
