We are Kanyana Wildlife - a proudly not-for-profit Perth-based organisation dedicated to native wildlife conservation.
Based amongst the jarrah trees of a Lesmurdie national park, we do more than care for sick, injured, orphaned, and displaced wildlife.
We are guardians of biodiversity, advocates for environmental education, and pioneers in wildlife rehabilitation. Our tireless team of passionate volunteers and experts work hand in hand to heal, protect, and release native animals back into their natural habitats.
At Kanyana, we believe in fostering a harmonious relationship between humans and wildlife, ensuring a thriving ecosystem for generations to come.
Our Pledge to Conserve
At Kanyana, we support the recovery of threatened species through breeding and conservation programs, training and research; educating schools and the wider community.
We are one of only 5 organisations within Western Australia that have regional membership of the Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA). ZAA is the peak body representing wildlife parks, zoos, and sanctuaries aquariums across Australasia and upholds its members to the highest standards. Committed to rescuing efforts, we accept any native wildlife to our hospital between 8.00am and 6.00pm, 365 days a year.
Our engaging guided tours and school programs (booking only) deliver a rich learning experience to all. We strive to educate everyone on our vital work, emphasising the significance of conservation and how we ensure native animal species thrive for many more generations.
With a long and proud history of helping wildlife and aiding conservation efforts, Kanyana has had a longstanding commitment to the welfare of native animals. Kanyana depends entirely upon the support of kind donations and volunteers to bring its vision to life.
