Animal rescue teams have been deployed to Southern Australia’s Kangaroo Island, where at least half of the 50,000-strong koala population has died in the bushfires which struck the country in the past three months.
Footage filmed on Friday shows the moments after a baby koala was rescued by a wildlife worker, ahead of being transported to Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park.
Humane Society International (HSI) has set up water stations and cameras to keep track of how many animals are left in need, explained HSI member Adam Parascandola.
“They have a team of vets that have been helping them and really working around the clock to save just thousands of these animals” he said.
Many of the koalas, which were being found “malnourished” and dehydrated as a consequence of the destruction of their main nutrient sources, were now treated in the hope of being safely returned to their natural environment.

Why is he dressed like it's cold outside when it's summer in Australia and supposed to be the hottest summer on record?
God bless all the wonderful and caring people who take care of the injured animals. Poor babies! Seeing them is so heartbreaking. The kaolas should never be re released back into the wild. They have no food no shelter if they are released. This is so wrong in many ways. The drought and arsonists have wreaked havoc for all the beautiful animals and the people losing everything they own. To much land has been burned. Prayers for Australia may you get more rain to completely put the fires out ?️?️?️?️?️?️?️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤??????????????????
Oh boy! What a hero. Thank you folks?
Anyway, CAT-CH ME channel here.

I’m protective over my Guinea pig~> so I can only imagine having one of those little babies koalas.

This guy is amazing ❤️ thank you for helping all of the little ones
Thank you and bless you.
Thank you for your lifesaving work! ???
Awful. How will surviving animals live if their whole habitat is gone? Does Australia even have a disaster recovery strategy in place for the wildlife other than the one sanctuary mentioned helping at present?
Thank you for saving these animals, so heartbroken for them ?. They look just like our stuffed teddy bears but real ?
Wish I was there to help these little guys
?GRETA!!!??????????
You are amazing
We stand by you in Europe, please keep fighting for your beautiful nature and animals! ❤️ God bless you
Thank you so much very all your hard work! Sending love, prayers and funds your way. Just curious. What’s the status on the other not-so-cute or cuddly animals such as reptiles or carnivores like dingoes or Tasmanian devils? We’re not hearing much about them. We love them too! ❤️ ?? ?
Спасибо, что спасаете коал, этих милых, медлительных мишек! ❤❤Я из России, и наверное никогда не побываю в Австралии, но очень хочу чтобы там больше никогда не было таких бедствий и чтобы австралийцы восстановили леса и спасли коал, ведь они под угрозой исчезновения!
baby beatiful you love
Please take the baby to vet. We appreciate all your doing. The baby has been by himself to long.

SOO HEARTBREAKING?
