❤️ All animals are special. All animals deserve to live.❤️

Wombats are in danger.

Mange kills 100% of wombats who don’t receive treatment.

Death by mange is slow and agonising.

The condition is caused by parasitic mites that burrow into the wombat's skin, inducing intense pain and itching.

Obsessively scratching for relief leads to open sores and infection.

As the infection worsens, wombats grow weak and debilitated, losing their ability to see, hear, and feed and will eventually die.

Research has found that up to 90% of wombat habitat is affected by mange.

And with a 100% mortality rate for those untreated, wombat mange experts fear that if we don’t act now, we may lose our beloved native wombat forever.

But there is a solution.

Mange is treatable. And with the right support, wombats can make a full recovery after treatment.

But support and intervention from the government is absolutely essential.

Botanist and D'harawal elder, Aunty Fran Bodkin has shared another fascinating potential treatment:

A small native plant was able to control mange when wombats rolled around in it due to its natural lice and mite repellent properties.

Today, only small pockets of Mentha Satureioides (bush mint) remain.

Unfortunately animal agriculture has seen most of the plants destroyed.

This year, I'm taking more action to push the government for positive change in wombat conservation — treating mange and beyond.

You can play an invaluable role too, sometimes from your own backyard.

Report a suspected case of mange to the Mange & Injury Hotline: 0431 600 125

As the Border 2 Fire continues to burn in the Otay Wilderness Area, it's crucial to have an emergency plan for your family — including pets of all sizes. Create an emergency kit for your pets, including food, medication, water, bedding, toys and any other items to make them feel secure. Have their kennels or carriers ready to go, if needed. Make sure your pets are wearing identification, including a collar with ID tag, even if your pet doesn't normally go outdoors. If your pet has a microchip, make sure your registered contact information is up to date. If there is a fire, evacuate early and don't leave your pets behind. Make a plan now for any large animals and livestock. Pets cannot fend for themselves during disasters and leaving them behind can risk both their lives and those of rescuers.
