The aim of Australia for Dolphins is to mobilise Australians to help protect dolphins and small whales who are killed inhumanely, and who presently have no international legal protection.

Over a million have been killed in hunts in the past 70 years in Japan alone.  Australia for Dolphins is committed to taking action against dolphin cruelty, with a focus on legal action that can bring about real change to the thousands of dolphins currently being mistreated around the world.

Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre (AU, 78407472803) Browse events

In 2000 Paul Barnes and Jennie Gilbert established the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre in Cairns, a non-profit organisation.   While they were working at The Undersea World Aquarium, a turtle was brought in with ‘floaters syndrome’ and this was the start of the CTRC. More and more turtles were brought into the aquarium to be rehabilitated by the marine parks rangers and when the aquarium shut down in 2001 the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre was moved to Tingara Street, in Cairns. Over the years the centre has successfully rehabilitated and released countless turtles.   Currently there are 20 volunteers working at the centre. The CTRC operational costs are met by donations from local businesses and the general public. These donations go directly towards the maintenance and feeding of the sick and injured turtles. Each day the turtles are fed, the tanks are cleaned and medication administered when required. The success rate for the rehabilitation of the turtles has gone from 30% to 85% and is now one of the highest success rates in Australia.   The new project is an extension of the Cairns rehab centre on Fitzroy Island. The owner of Fitzroy Island resort - Doug Gamble has kindly donated us a piece of land in order to extend the rehabilitation centre.    It used to be an aquaculture prawn farm so the area is semi-prepared to hold tanks however the piping for the water to be pumped in and out of the site has taken a long time to find and repair.   Our hope is to be able to fit another 20 Turtles out on the Island whilst keeping the 14 tanks running in Cairns. There is still a large amount of work that needs to be done on Fitzroy before the site will be ready for any more turtles.
