摘要 在澳大利亚各地，成千上万的人参与了本土动物群的恢复工作。本文回顾了野生动物救援组织在澳大利亚动物群的护理和恢复中的作用，并就未来的政策和实践提出了建议。根据所提供的数据，可以得出以下结论： (1) 大多数野生动物由常见且分布广泛的物种组成。 (2) 由于之前与人类的一些互动，它们通常需要护理和康复。 (3)很大一部分人在康复过程中死亡。 (4) 虽然大量的人最终被释放，但关于他们最终生存的信息却很少。 （5）这一情况与美国报道的情况类似。然而，同样明显的是，野生动物康复的最大好处可能来自它所激发的教育信息。在这方面，建议提高野生动物保护团体的形象，特别是在政府保护机构内，并对其对野生动物保护的贡献进行更多研究。
Abstract Throughout Australia, thousands of people are involved in the rehabilitation of native fauna. This paper reviews the role of wildlife rescue groups in the care and rehabilitation of Australian fauna, and makes recommendations regarding future policy and practice. From the data presented, it is concluded that (1) The majority of wildlife comprise common and widespread species. (2) They usually require care and rehabilitation because of some previous interaction with humans. (3) A significant proportion die during the rehabilitation process. (4) While a large number are eventually released, little information is available about their ultimate survival. (5) This situation is similar to that reported in the United States. However, it is also apparent that the greatest benefit from wildlife rehabilitation is likely to come from the educational message it inspires. In this regard, it is recommended that the profile of wildlife care groups be raised, particularly within government conservation agencies, and that there be additional research into their contribution to wildlife conservation.
