About Our Sponsorship Program

“In the wild, only the fittest survive… at Wing’s Wildlife Park, every animal is given a chance.”

Support wildlife conservation in Tasmania by becoming an animal sponsor at Wing’s Wildlife Park. Our sponsorship program is a meaningful way to directly contribute to the care and protection of native and exotic wildlife.


For over 30 years, Wing’s Wildlife Park has operated without ongoing government funding and is fully supported by visitor entry fees, wildlife encounters, and community contributions. With over 1,000 animals in our care, sponsorships play a vital role in helping us continue our conservation work.


Your sponsorship directly supports:

  • Endangered species breeding programs
  • Wildlife rehabilitation initiatives
  • Veterinary care and medical treatment
  • Daily husbandry needs including food, enrichment, and enclosure maintenance


By sponsoring an animal, you are actively contributing to wildlife conservation and ensuring the ongoing care and wellbeing of animals at the park. In return, sponsors receive exclusive thank-you gifts as a token of appreciation for their support. Animal sponsorships also make a unique and meaningful gift for friends, family, and wildlife lovers—simple to purchase and impactful for conservation.
