Comment: As said by the last reviewers, the submission sounds like an advertisement, I propose removing the biased words like "award-winning" and remove unnecessary sentences the reader wont read. TheNuggeteer (talk) 03:50, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Thank you for declaring your affiliation to the topic. Upon closer look, there are some issues that need addressed prior to resubmission. The first is hyperlinks. These need to be removed and turned into references if they are supporting content. Here is an example of one I did for you so you have something to work from. Another issue is promotional tone. There is an entire section on "social enterprise" referenced to the official website of the topic. This is likely something they want to see, but you need to ask yourself if this is something that Wikipedia readers would like to know. If the preserve is noted for this, then it is likely covered in numerous reliable secondary sources so please use them instead of the company website. If it is not something it is widely known for, I would suggest removing it. Finally, the references seem to discuss the topic, but not in great detail. They basically talk about it in context with another topic. Are there any references you can provide which show that the preserve is covered in-depth or the primary focus of the article?

Wildlife Wonders is a wildlife sanctuary in Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.
Its focus is on environmental conservation[1] and education. Wildlife Wonders is a social enterprise[2] supporting environmental conservation of the Otways region through the parent organisation, the Conservation Ecology Centre .

History
[edit]Wildlife Wonders received approval from Colac Otway Shire in 2017 and commenced construction in 2018 with $1.5 million in Victorian state government support[3][4]. It began its journey conceived as a response to the growing need for conservation initiatives in the face of environmental challenges[5] and officially opened in February 2021. Conceived and founded by Lizzie Corke OAM and Shayne Neal of the Conservation Ecology Centre (CEC), an environmental NGO[6]. The purpose behind Wildlife Wonders is to create a model in which the CEC can engage people with nature and generate funding to address urgent conservation challenges.

The making of Wildlife Wonders
[edit]The creation of Wildlife Wonders involved planning and collaboration among environmentalists, conservationists, and community stakeholders to turn farmland into the sanctuary replicating what the Otway Ranges once was. In this team was Brian Massey, an Art Director of ‘The Hobbit’ films, and landscape designer of New Zealand’s Hobbiton experience.[7]
1.4km of fencing encloses the sanctuary which is an area of more than 30 acres protected from feral predators and habitat destruction.

Conservation
[edit]Wildlife Wonders supports ongoing conservation projects in the Great Otway National Park. 100% of Wildlife Wonders' profits are directed to the Conservation Ecology Centre's research and conservation programs[8]. The Conservation Ecology Centre undergoes research and on-ground works to tackle urgent conservation challenges facing the wildlife and habitats of the Otways[9] [10]and selects projects based on their wider adaptability to conservation efforts around Australia and beyond.
