## What is Wildlife Emergency?

The Wildlife Emergency app provides a straightforward way to report wildlife impacted by bushfire and other emergencies such as marine pollution, extreme heat and whale or dolphin strandings or entanglements to the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning (DELWP). DELWP is the lead agency in Victoria for managing wildlife emergencies. You can access the app at any time. 

You can use the app to quickly report to DELWP, by providing some basic information, adding photographs (if appropriate) and confirming the location. If your device is not connected to the internet, you can still create a report and will be prompted to submit it when your device has an internet connection.

Please take care when you are near injured or distressed animals. Approaching them or improper capture and handling techniques can cause further distress or injury to both yourself and wildlife.

For all other injured wildlife, please contact Wildlife Victoria on 03 8400 7300
