READ NOWCity of Kalamunda Mayor John Giardina said the volunteers at Kanyana continued to do a wonderful job each year caring for the native animals injured and needing rehabilitation.
“We are so lucky to have this world-class facility fully-staffed by people who give their time, love and attention to the creatures and add to the existing bio-diversity of the planet and our special place in it, here in Western Australia,” he said.
“It is so important that we protect these wonderful animals and reptiles and birds and prevent them from becoming threatened species here in their native habitat.”
