Joining Forces to Safeguard and Rescue Our Precious Wildlife

Welcome to
Tiewelt Wildlife Foundation

Welcome to Tiewelt Wildlife Foundation, a privately funded charitable organisation dedicated to the protection of Australia’s remarkable and unique wildlife.

Australia is home to some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife, from rare bat species in Queensland to the charming quokka of Western Australia, and an incredible variety of marsupials, birds, insects, and plants across the continent.

Our educational platform is designed as an engaging resource for wildlife enthusiasts of all ages. Every Australian, as well as visitors to our beautiful country, has an essential role to play in conservation. Tiewelt provides you with the knowledge to make a difference and the opportunity to share your own wildlife conservation stories with the world.

Our wildlife guides help you learn all about the animals, birds, and reptiles you might see. They also explain what to do if you find one that’s hurt. If you’re not sure what to do, ask an adult or an expert for help!

Our wildlife profiles are carefully designed to provide a solid understanding of the animals, birds, and reptiles you may come across. They also highlight important considerations if you encounter an injured creature. Remember, if you’re ever unsure, always seek assistance from an expert.

Tiewelt is dedicated to empowering local wildlife groups, helping them deliver exceptional services to their communities by showcasing the commitment and achievements of Australia’s passionate wildlife advocates.

what Conservation Icons say

We don’t own the planet Earth, we belong to it. And we must share it with our wildlife.

The fact is that no species has ever had such wholesale control over everything on Earth, living or dead, as we now have. That lays upon us, whether we like it or not, an awesome responsibility. In our hands now lies not only our own future, but that of all other living creatures with whom we share the Earth.

Look closely at nature. Every species is a masterpiece, exquisitely adapted to the particular environment in which it has survived. Who are we to destroy or even diminish biodiversity?
