Caring for Wildlife

Today we had a guest speaker from Human Seeds who told us how she cared for injured wildlife. Adrianna has a shelter at her house where she cares for possums,kangaroos,wombats, echidnas and fruit bats. She told us that there are 4 dangers to wildlife. They are -
1. Roads (cars and trucks)
2. Pets (cats and dogs)
3. Entanglement (animals caught in nets, fences and rubbish)
4. Habitat Destruction (chopping down trees)


Adrianna gave us some solutions to these dangers.
1. She said that we had to watch out when we are driving
2. We need to keep cats inside and keep dogs on a leash
3. We should use colourful nets and pick up our rubbish
4. When we chop down trees we should replace them with indigenous plants to provide food and shelter for the animals.
We have now found out how to care for our pets from the RSPCA and how to care for the wildlife from Adrianna.

What action are we going to take to help these animals?
