Healesville Sanctuary has received a generous donation from the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes to support the Australian Wildlife Health Centre's work with bushfire victims.

Funds were raised from the generosity of the Order's members who were concerned about the impact of the bushfires on wildlife, and wanted to support the work of Healesville Sanctuary in the rescue, treatment and rehabilitation of Victoria's native wildlife
