Wildlife rescuers’ efforts have been crucial to the survival of Australia’s iconic koala species whose numbers have taken a huge hit during the fires.

Well over one billion animals are predicted to have been killed during Australia’s 2019/2020 bushfires and among this number, tens of thousands of koalas are believed to have perished.
