The Wildbase Story
The Wildbase Story
Central Energy Trust Wildbase Recovery
Central Energy Trust Wildbase Recovery is a rehabilitation facility in the Victoria Esplanade, Palmerston North. It is specially designed to allow native animals to safely build fitness and regain strength after treatment at Wildbase Hospital.
Wildbase Hospital
Wildbase Hospital provides expert medical and surgical care to sick and injured native animals so they can be returned to the wild. The animals treated at Wildbase Hospital rehabilitate in the specialised aviaries at Central Energy Trust Wildbase Recovery.
Wildbase Hospital is also a teaching hospital.
Wildbase Pathology
When an endangered native animal is found dead, the Department of Conservation sends it to Wildbase Pathology for a post-mortem examination. Wildbase Pathology works with the Department of Conservation to do post-mortem examinations on endangered species from across NZ. Finding the cause of death, how and why the animal has died, gives valuable information and knowledge for those working hard to save endangered species.
Wildbase Oil Response
Oil pollution is devastating to marine wildlife. The Wildbase Oil Response team race to the site of spills and work hard to treat and rehabilitate patients so they can be released back to the wild.
Wildbase Oil Response undertakes the cleaning, care, rehabilitation and release of animals after marine oil spills. It is internationally recognised as leaders in the field.
Wildbase Research
Wildbase Research works together with other organisations to investigate and undertake research to better support and manage the native wildlife of NZ.
