In an unprecedented move for the welfare of our avian counterparts, Raptor Refuge, Raptor Care Northwest, Northeast Raptor Rescue, we proudly announce the formation of an alliance. This collaborative effort aims to propel raptor rehabilitation to new heights by fostering and, building partnerships, and creating a robust network of support.
Collective Vision and Purpose
We are driven by a shared commitment to the welfare of raptors and the preservation of their habitats. The primary objectives guiding this alliance are:
1. Release with Resilience: Work collectively to release as many raptors as possible back into the wild with a chance of survival equivalent or better than before their rehabilitation journey began.
2. Strategic Partnerships: Collaborate with wildlife rehabilitation entities, individuals, corporate bodies, and community groups to build strong partnerships that enhance collective capabilities.
3. Efficient Patient Care: Minimize transport of cases before examination and stabilization, utilizing trained or experienced rescuers, veterinary services, and traditional patient care methods.
4. Innovative Rehabilitation: Employ both traditional and novel rehabilitation methods, drawing upon our extensive state, national, and international networks to ensure the best outcomes for raptors.
5. Post-Release Monitoring: Track the post-release success of rehabilitation efforts to continuously improve and refine rehabilitation practices.
6. Regional Expansion: Spread raptor rehabilitation across regional Tasmania, providing local ownership of issues and offering credible, local expertise to professionals such as veterinarians.
7. Recruitment: Actively recruit more regional raptor rehabilitators who align with the stated objectives to expand the reach and impact of the alliance.
8. Ethical Operations: Operate within the bounds of the law and adhere to ethical standards, especially concerning the 'duty of care' towards the raptors in their charge.
Collaborative Community Engagement
This alliance will extend its collaborative efforts beyond rehabilitation, actively engaging in community awareness, education, and understanding of the importance of raptor conservation. By sharing knowledge and fostering a sense of responsibility towards these majestic birds and aims to create a ripple effect that positively impacts raptor populations and their ecosystems.
