Share
Nestled in Torquay, Victoria, Mikro Coffee Roasters has long been committed to more than just crafting exceptional coffee. As a proud B Corp-certified business, we believe in making a positive impact on both the local community and the environment. One cause we’re particularly passionate about is wildlife conservation, which is why we proudly support Surfcoast Wildlife Rescue.
This grassroots organization plays a pivotal role in protecting and rehabilitating native Australian wildlife in the Surf Coast region. From rescuing injured kangaroos to caring for orphaned joeys, Surfcoast Wildlife Rescue is tirelessly working to preserve the delicate balance of our ecosystem. Here’s why we believe it’s a cause worth championing—and how you can get involved too.
What is Surfcoast Wildlife Rescue?
Surfcoast Wildlife Rescue is a volunteer-run organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing native wildlife across Victoria’s Surf Coast. With its rugged coastline, lush bushlands, and diverse habitats, the Surf Coast is home to an incredible array of native species—from koalas and echidnas to possums and wedge-tailed eagles.
Unfortunately, the region also faces challenges such as habitat destruction, vehicle collisions, and increasing urbanization, all of which threaten local wildlife. That’s where Surfcoast Wildlife Rescue steps in. They provide:
- **Emergency rescue services** for injured, sick, or orphaned wildlife.
- **Rehabilitation programs** to ensure animals can return safely to the wild.
- **Education initiatives** to raise awareness about coexisting with native fauna.
- **Advocacy efforts** to protect the habitats of vulnerable species.
Their work is more than just an act of kindness—it’s essential for maintaining the Surf Coast’s biodiversity.
