野生動物保育員/塔斯馬尼亞
小時候對於金城武代言賣茶的廣告非常的熟悉
《世界越快，心則慢》 – 癒茶園
放鬆心情好好享受周圍的人、事、物
戶外聽見樹枝被風吹動的聲音
花園聞到薰衣草綻放的花香味
眼神凝視窗台上被陽光折射的蜘蛛網
回神過來，發現自己還在原地
但．．．思緒好像有些微的變化．．．這世界不一樣了
無論世界如何的變化、進步，都跟塔斯馬尼亞無關
因為這裡保留著最原始的靈魂和最純淨的土地
而其中一個靈魂就是-Susie
Wild Hearts Rescue
她是Wild Hearts Rescue的創辦人，也是Ｗild Ocean Tasmania的創辦人之一。她除了有在開船帶旅客去海外探險之外，自己本身也是個野生動物保護員(registered wildlife carer)
身為德國人的她，在塔斯島上的Pirates Bay生活著。跟著她的伴侶兼船長Captain. Damo一起經營這個海上探險事業
我們緣分，也是透過搭乘他們的探險船而間接認識。隨後，慢慢從他們身上學到了很多東西 ; 久而久之這種情誼變成了朋友。
他們對於這自然的熱誠與奉獻一直是我無法想像的
在外人看來，他們的確與眾不同有自己經商的獨特性
但在我看來，他們是認真的生活並且用心關心周圍的人事物
我想，找到自己想要的並且用全心全力去體驗和達成
這…..應該不難吧!!!
責任與使命
Wildlife Carer的職位並不是一個討好的工作，要有對環境和動物有極大的熱誠才能勝任的
需要花費自地的資金、動用自己的資源來拯救小動物和建築動物收容所，這些全部都得靠自己完成
如果想要當環境動物保育員必須要想您是否有以下的條件:
- 1. 你是否有時間照顧(包含餵食、清潔、醫療)
- 2. 資金來源
- 3. 有無動物收容所
- 4. 您是否夠強壯能勝任
我和Dolly有機會能夠幫他們一起搭建動物收容所是我們的榮幸
因為看到那些被拯救的小靈魂從孤拎拎害怕的模樣到成長為健康自由奔放的身體，這一切辛苦和努力都是值得的!!!
當然，當中有些能夠長大並且被釋放到大自然…有些則無法
讓我們了解到大自然給予和拿取的力量，我們一直都要尊敬這個環境與社會。

Wildlife Carer- Wild Hearts Tasmania
Relax and fully enjoy the people, places, and things around you.
Outside, listen to the sound of branches swaying in the wind.
In the garden, breathe in the scent of lavender in full bloom.
Feel the fine ocean sand on your skin the moment it touches you.
Gaze at the spiderweb on the windowsill, reflecting the sunlight.
When you come back to the present, you realize you’re still in the same place.
But… something within seems subtly transformed… the world feels different.
No matter how much the world changes and advances, it doesn’t affect Tasmania.
Because here, the land preserves its original spirit and purest essence.
And one of these spirits is—Susie.
Story behind
She is the founder of Wild Hearts Rescue and one of the co-founders of Wild Ocean Tasmania. Besides captaining boats to take travelers on ocean adventures, she is also a registered wildlife carer.
As a German, she lives in Pirates Bay on Tasmania’s coast. Together with her partner and captain, Captain Damo, she runs this ocean adventure business.
Our paths crossed indirectly through one of their adventure cruises. Over time, I learned so much from them, and this connection gradually grew into a true friendship.
Their passion and dedication to nature are beyond anything I could have imagined.
To outsiders, they might seem unique and distinctive in their approach to business.
But to me, they are people who live genuinely, caring deeply about the world and those around them.
I think, finding what you truly want and putting your whole heart into experiencing and achieving it…
That… shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Responsibility and Mission
Being a Wildlife Carer is not a glamorous job; it requires a deep passion for the environment and animals to be done effectively.
It often demands using personal funds and resources to rescue small animals and build shelters, all of which must be managed independently.
If you’re considering becoming an environmental and wildlife carer, here are some questions to ask yourself:
- Do you have the time to provide care (feeding, cleaning, medical support)?
- Do you have the financial resources?
- Do you have a space or shelter for animals?
- Are you physically strong enough to meet the demands of the role?
Dolly and I have had the honor of helping them build an animal shelter. Watching these rescued little souls transform from fearful, lonely beings to healthy, spirited lives makes all the effort worthwhile!
Of course, some animals grow strong enough to be released back into the wild… while others may not.
This experience has taught us to respect nature’s power to give and take. We must continually honor and respect our environment and society.
