VALE HELEN LUCKHOFF :(




VALE HELEN LUCKHOFF. In a world when the term is overused, a genuine “Wildlife Warrior” Helen Luckhoff, recently passed away. Helen was a pioneer in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, particularly flying-foxes and bats. She was the co-founder of Brisbane based group ONARR (Orphaned Native Animal Rear & Release) in the early 80s. At a time when most orphaned native animals, especially bats, were being regularly euthanased simply because no-one knew how to raise them, Helen’s dogged perseverance resulted in the establishment of a small band of fellow bat-lovers, from which other groups eventually grew. Helen was a recipient of many awards, and cited as an authority on bat behaviour in numerous scientific papers.

Attached is a tribute in the latest ONARR newsletter. Helen’s friends at Batreach mourn her passing.

  1. So sad to hear of Helen's passing . She taught me all I know about bats and was a good friend to me in the time I lived in Brisbane.
    My sincerest condolences to all her family. I will never forget the calm and knowledgeable way she handled injured creatures. She was an inspirational person. Guy Ogden. Osteopath.
