Read article A million native animals may have died in Victorian bushfires

Fires in Victoria and Floods in Queensland. The fires have savaged over 400 000 hectares in Victoria and floods have affected nearly 60% of Queensland.The suffering of humans and non-humans is beyond words. While the whole nation braced itself and millions of dollars have generously been donated for human victims, it is not always the same when animals are concerned.

The treatment and rehabilitaton of a single burnt koala costs over $400 per week.

"The toll on these rescue teams is enormous – the sadness of seeing burnt and suffering wildlife is traumatic and some have described it as gut wrenching – it never leaves you -we mourn for those which we have lost. If you can help with a donation to keep our specialised rescue teams in the field we would be very grateful." Help for Wildlife

"The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man." Charles Darwin
