As different Australian states are dealing with different climate disasters, and wildlife is left without natural food sources, there are ways you can help. Know what foods to provide for different species but also what is NOT suitable. Share this info, you may help save a life.
Have to say this is some weird take (not the OP but Taronga) , like a suggestion not to take a plastic bittle of water whike flying across the planet.
Climate chage, pollution, land clearing, urban sprawl, introduced feral speciles like cats and dogs etc are decimating local animal populations and we Australian’s jave the deserved honour of sending more species extinct then any other nation on earth :(
Every time i cycle, i ride past dead wombats, quolls, possums, wallabies etc strewn along the roads. The land all around me is cleared for cattle (dariy and beef) and what’s ledt ober is then cleared for forestry which is really just a green desert, devoid of most life. All this gives native wildlife so little chance to be resilient.
I’d suggest the best advice for animal lovers is to vote Green to try and halt the ecological genocide, rather then chop up zucchini for the few left.
We must do both and more. Vote Green (I do) even though they haven’t been able to get the results we needed to the new national environment laws. 😪
There is Realpolitik and there is what happens on the ground so voting for environmentally responsible parties or individuals is not enough and the flow-on results are slow and sometimes don’t happen at all. We need to be politically engaged but also have practical skills we can apply to our besieged wildlife.
This info was put together by Taronga after the devastating Black Summer fires in which surviving wildlife were left with nothing to continue living. I really think to learn what to do to help wildlife in need is as important as knowing first aid to help people survive. I don’t think this is weird.
