Fujifilm Australia has donated a range of digital cameras to Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Worldwide to help them collect evidence for their conservation programmes in South East Asia.

"Prior to Fujifilm providing their cameras for the programmes, there was no digital record of activities," said Australia Zoo big cats supervisor Giles Clark. "The cameras are now used for evidence gathering which is particularly useful for undercover operations that aim to expose wildlife trade, trafficking and poaching.

"The cameras are also used for the collection of wildlife data and reporting back to donor agencies." This is the fourth year that Fujifilm has donated cameras to the Wildlife Warriors team.

"FUJIFILM Australia recognises the value and importance of the South East Asian conservation programs that Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Worldwide is associated with," said FUJIFILM Australia regional business manager, Nick Martland. "The people involved in these programmes work tirelessly to save and preserve endangered animals such as the Sumatran Tiger and Asian Elephant."

Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Worldwide was established in 2002 by Steve and Terri Irwin to involve other people in the support and protection of injured, threatened or endangered wildlife. The charity now operates independently, but Terri Irwin remains involved as a patron, supporter and advisor.
