Saving the Koalas

No doubt many of you have heard of the
devastating bush fires in Victoria Australia.
The immense lost of human life has been
overwhelming and nothing short of tragic. As well
the lost and destruction to the Fauna and Flora
has added even more heart-ach and causing a major
environmental disaster. It is estimated that over
a million native animals have perished so far and
many many more injured will die. The areas so far
destroyed (and I say so far as many of these
fires are still burning) will provide little or
no food for those that did survive. However in
such situations whether through desperation,
insight or divine intervention some have learnt
to adapt. One such situation involving the Koala,
a native species to Australia, is seeing this
usually shy remote animal suddenly changing its
habits. Because of its lifestyle the Koala has
been steadily declining in numbers and considered
an endangered species. There now has been many
reports of this adorable gum tree dweller seeking
human help and assistance. Ever since that famous
photo of Sam the Koala drinking from a water
bottle, the situation is being repeated all over
the State of Victoria. Here are some pictures
showing just how the Koala is seeking help.

Because of the heat with temperatures up in the
40º-47º Celsius, the Koala has become extremely
venerable due to dehydration which causes its
kidneys to fail resulting in death. It has
resorted to seeking help from us as seen in these
photos.

As we all share the same environment. The least
we can do is give other animals a hand, or in
this case water
