Saving wildlife in the wildfires



The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) is amongst the organisations helping wild and domestic animals affected by the devastating fires in Victoria, South Australia.


The team, led by IFAW Emergency Responder, Tania Duratovic, is helping local wildlife carers with search and rescue operations, providing treatment, food and vet supplies.
 
Working alongside local group Help for Wildlife, the IFAW team has already treated a variety of animals ranging from horses, dogs and goats to koalas, wallabies, a lyrebird and a dingo.

“Our priority is to work with the local community, carers and vets to help rescue and treat as many survivors as possible and get them on what will be a long road to recovery,” Ms Duratovic said.
