What we do
BARTA was established with a clear vision to support first responders in the resolution of emergency situations involving animals, with informed, safe and welfare driven plans.
BARTA is uniquely positioned to bring together expertise from a range of industries and specialisms whose joint collaboration will impact the future of animal incident management across a broad spectrum of agencies and applications, from localised single animal incidents, to wide scale, multi-agency emergencies and disasters.
