JARAKE WILDLIFE SANCTUARY LTD

Jarake Wildlife Sanctuary Ltd is a registered charitable organisation located on 130 acres of land in South East New South Wales, including a 100-acre conservation area adjacent to Glenbog State Forest. The sanctuary features over three acres of specialised wildlife enclosures dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of orphaned and injured native animals such as wombats, macropods, possums, gliders, and birds. These enclosures are monitored continuously through an infra-red CCTV security system to ensure the wellbeing of the animals.
