WOMBATS, WATER AND WILDLIFE REHABILITATION (AUSTRALIA)

In the latest episode of Wildlife Health Talks, wildlife rehabilitator Dianna Bisset, shares her firsthand experience of the devastating 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires and their profound impact on wildlife, challenging long-held beliefs about the Australian bush's resilience. It's a timely discussion in the face of the devastation occurring in California right now and its aftermath.

Through moving stories, including the remarkable recovery of a wallaroo with a broken spine, Dianna reveals both the heartbreak and hope that is daily life in wildlife rehabilitation. She offers unique insights into innovative wildlife protection solutions and the evolving role of wildlife carers in the face of increasing environmental challenges.

Follow her career journey from creating equipment for James Cameron's deep-sea expeditions to rehabilitating wombats and kangaroos at her Rocklily Wombats wildlife refuge.

For anyone with a passion for wildlife, this is a story not to be missed so listen now on your favourite app or Googling Wildlife Health Talks, and remember, we'd love to hear your thoughts via FB and Insta ... or try the Fan Mail feature on Buzzsprout.
