Who pays for wildlife protection?

Wildlife protection efforts, like the large-scale penguin vaccination, are often funded through a mix of government grants, charitable donations, and sometimes even tourism revenue. Given the little penguins are a major tourist attraction, protecting them also helps support the local economy in Victoria, making it a worthwhile investment for various stakeholders.
