I received my San Diego Zoo newsletter on Friday, like I do every week, and this week there was this:

QUOTE
Australia Bushfire Wildlife Rescue Relief
Please help us provide support for the bushfire wildlife victims:

The devastation left in the wake of February’s bushfires that raged through Australia’s state of Victoria is almost incomprehensible: over 200 people are dead; more than
1 million acres are charred; 20 towns have burned; and nearly 2,000 homes have been destroyed. In addition, wildlife rescue officials estimate that millions of Australian animals—from koalas, kangaroos, and wombats to flying foxes, cockatoos, and turtles—perished in the inferno.

For the animals that miraculously survived the disaster, many are in need of immediate medical attention with severe fire-related injuries that include singed paws, ears, and noses; burned lungs; dehydration, blisters; and smoke inhalation. Wildlife rescue teams are working around the clock to find and treat the native animal victims of the bushfires.

The San Diego Zoo is helping to support this wildlife rescue and rehabilitation work. Your generosity in contributing to our efforts is sincerely appreciated and will help us make a difference in the lives of many Australian animals that were injured in the deadly bushfires.


There is also information on how people can help.

Isn't that nice!

I find it very comforting to know that the world is there for us in what is now our turn.
