Nab That Job in Australia!

Nab That Job in Australia! is committed to supporting Wildlife Warriors Worldwide, a non-profit wildlife conservation organisation focused on contributing to the health of our environment and the well-being of wildlife.

Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors was inspired by Steve and Terri Irwin in 2002 to encourage like-minded individuals to join them in the care and protection of wildlife around the world.  They believed if one animal could be saved, an entire species could be saved.  Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors are practising this every day around the world by contributing to the health of our environment and the well-being of wildlife.

Australia Zoo is the major sponsor of Wildlife Warriors Worldwide, funding all administration costs of the charity to ensure that all donations are contributed towards conservation and preservation of wildlife and habitat.

Nab That Job in Australia! contributes 10% of profits to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide on a monthly basis.  That means that when you purchase any of the products and services from Nab That Job in Australia!, you are contributing towards the better good of the planet.  Doesn't that make you feel good?

To get an idea of what your contribution will be supporting, listed below are some of the major conservation projects that Wildlife Warriors Worldwide are currently involved in.

Since Wildlife Warriors Worldwide is supported by Australia Zoo, all donations go directly towards wildlife conservation projects.

The Australian Wildlife Hospital was first opened in 2004, when Steve Irwin converted an old avocado packing shed into what is now the Australian Wildlife Hospital.  The hospital was built in memory of Steve Irwin's mother - Lyn Irwin - a pioneer in wildlife care an rehabilitation.  The current facility operates 24 hours, 7 days a week and treats over 6,000 animals every year!

On Steve Irwin Day (15 November) 2008, a brand new hospital was officially opened, which now gives the Australian Wildlife Hospital the capacity to treat up to 10,000 wildlife patients  annually, that will come in as a result of road accidents, habitat destruction and domestic pet attacks.  To date, $5 million has been put into this vital project thanks to donations from government, sponsors, suppliers, regular givers and the general public.

According to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide, the fastest animal on the land is running out of time.  Did you know that only 9,000 - 12,000 cheetah are remaining in the wild?  Cheetah-human conflict is labeled the number one threat to their survival.

Conflict occurs when cheetah, which are often affiliated and blamed for livestock losses, are killed by angry farmers.

Wildlife Warriors Worldwide has built a partnership with the De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Trust and Cheetah Outreach in South Africa to assist with cheetah conservation.  Donated funds support The Anatolian Shepherd Program, a non-lethal method of managing predators from killing local livestock.

The Anatolian Shepherd Dog guard livestock from approaching predators, and since the beginning of the project, no livestock losses have been reported.  Isn't that amazing?  As you can see, this is a very effective program, and worthy of support.

Funds also support cheetah releases, tracking and monitoring of the cheetah and local education to reduce the cheetah-human conflict.

I don't know about you, but I am just fascinated by orangutans.  The thought of their survival in Bukit Tingapuluh National Park (Sumatra) being threatened by human-orangutan conflict and poaching is very upsetting.

Thankfully Wildlife Warriors Worldwide support the Australian Orangutan Project and the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme.  Your donations and funds raised for orangutan conservation go towards anti-poaching patrols and orangutan releases in the National Park.  The anti-poaching patrols not only protect the orangutans of the area, but also other endangered species such as Sumatran tigers and elephants.

I was very surprised to hear that every day we lose between one to five beautiful tigers due to poaching.  There are less than 5,000 tigers remaining in the wild today (and less than 400 Sumatran tigers), leaving immediate action as the only way to save this magnificent species from extinction. 

Wildlife Warriors Worldwide work in partnership with Fauna and Flora International to help fund the Tiger Conservation and Protection Units ( TCPUs) and local education programs to reduce tiger-human conflict.  It only costs $5 to save one tiger in the wild for one day.

Many scientists believe that elephants are capable of experiencing emotions in the much the same way human beings do. The fact that numbers of these amazing creatures are declining at an alarming rate in Asia should be enough to jolt us into action to help save the Asian elephant from extinction.

Wildlife Warriors Worldwide work in partnership with Flora and Fauna International to improve already existing projects as well as investing in a range of new strategies.  Funding for this project supports the Conservation Response Units (CRUs) in Sumatra and the Cambodian Elephant Conservation Group (CEGG) in Cambodia, which both work with and engage local communities, giving them the tools and knowledge required to live alongside the elephant.  These units help reduce elephant-human conflict, prevent the destruction of habitat, help implement education programs in local communities, prevent illegal logging and poaching, and help to recover property loss  as a result of elephant activity.

The Tasmanian devil is a native animal unique to Australia, who was once wildly found throughout all of Australia.  Now, wild Tasmanian devils can only be found in Tasmania - hence the name.  However, Tasmanian devils are now seriously facing extinction.

In 2008 and 2009, Wildlife Warriors Worldwide financed projects in Tasmania to help save the Tasmanian Devil from extinction.

Unfortunately, Tasmanian devils suffer from what is known as  Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD).  This disease is a facial cancer killing Tasmanian devils in the wild at an alarming rate.

Of those remaining Tasmanian devils,  DFTD has already killed 20% of devil numbers in the last decade.  DFTD is easily transmittable, spread when a diseased devil bites another.  This disease spreads very quickly and is threatening the survival of this unique iconic Australian species. 

Wildlife Warriors Worldwide will continue to support Tasmanian devil conservation, supporting vital research into DFTD and helping to establish insurance populations to save the species.

Terri Irwin has made an international plea to stop whaling by supporting different projects who study whales in oceans.  Funds raised through Wildlife Warriors Worldwide USA will support whale conservation.  One such project, lead by Dr. Bruce Mate, Director of the Oregon State University Marine Mammal Institute, will determine whale populations and track whale movements including timing, route, and rate of speed for their migrations back to their breeding areas.  Tagging and tracking of whales is a non-lethal approach to whale research.  This, and other ground-breaking research will uncover the secrets of these giants of the sea so we can learn how to save them.
