The scale of wildlife losses during Australia’s bushfire crisis is hard to comprehend.
According to researcher Chris Dickman from Sydney University, half a million animals including kangaroos, koalas, snakes, lizards and various bird species have perished since fires started burning at the beginning of the bushfire season.
The stories of animal rescue efforts – some by authorities and others by good Samaritans – have littered our social media feeds and helped lift the collective mood.
Now Australia’s most well-known wildlife warrior family has shared some good news during an otherwise miserable start to 2020.
Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late Steve Irwin, announced yesterday that the family’s Queensland-based wildlife hospital at Australia Zoo had treated its 90,000th patient.
