In recent days the Margaret River region in Western Australia has suffered terrible bushfires. The area has been declared a natural disaster area, meaning that residents may access funds from the government to rebuild lost homes, etc.

The hidden victims are the wildlife. It is thought that there will be hundreds of animals that have been injured due to the fires and many will need extensive rehabilitation. Unfortunately, money from disaster relief funds do not reach the wildlife.

Fawna and The Possum Centre in Western Australia are appealing for help to raise funds for equipment and medications. If you can help by donating, please see details below.
