Kangaroo Island wildlife face starvation

Wildlife on Kangaroo Island are facing a second wave of devastation through starvation following the destruction of their habitat. RSPCA volunteers have established food stations to ensure the Island’s marsupials, reptiles and insects do not starve to death. Millions of wildlife are believed to have perished in the December and January fires and the operators of Kangaroo Island Bush Get Away, which was destroyed by fires, are not the only landowners seeking RSPCA assistance for their furry inhabitants. Volunteers are also monitoring the regrowth of vegetation and plan to wean rescued wildlife back onto their natural food source over time. Image: Getty
