Wildlife Rehabilitation Ireland

Wildlife Rehabilitation Ireland (WRI) is a dedicated non-governmental organization committed to promoting and advancing wildlife rehabilitation, welfare, and protection. With a vision of a world where the intrinsic value of wildlife is recognized and protecting biodiversity is fundamental to life on Earth, WRI strives to make a significant impact through its various initiatives.

Need for WRI

The wildlife situation in Ireland is unique and challenging, with no single organization representing all types of wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. Various individuals and organizations across the country either rescue specific species or rehabilitate whatever wildlife casualties come their way, often without financial or support networks. Recognizing the need for a more coordinated approach and higher profile for wildlife rehabilitation, WRI was established to address these gaps.

Rehabilitation & Teaching Hospital

WRI is actively working to establish a dedicated Wildlife Rehabilitation & Teaching Hospital to meet the growing needs of injured and orphaned wildlife. In 2021 alone, the interim wildlife hospital in Navan treated an impressive 2,651 wild patients. The hospital aims to provide an exciting, fun, and educational visitor experience through real-life stories and interactive learning opportunities. The goal is to help visitors connect positively with nature and gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

Contribution from Access Plastics

Access Plastics has contributed to WRI by donating Marlon FS Polycarbonate sheets. These virtually unbreakable plastic sheets will be used in enclosures to protect the animals during their recovery. Marlon FS Polycarbonate sheets were selected for their superior qualities, including:

  • Excellent weather resistance
  • Half the weight of plate glass
  • Exceptional impact resistance
  • Incredible strength-to-weight ratio
  • Excellent fire performance
  • Easy handling, installation, and cleaning
  • Excellent light transmission

Flat polycarbonate sheet offers a superior glazing solution, particularly when safety or impact resistance is critical. 

Its durability and design freedom make it a preferred material for safety glazing, protective screening, machine guards, and visors, providing an excellent alternative to heavier building materials.
