As the Grampians fires approached, 20 kangaroo joeys took shelter in a living room. Experts say others aren't so lucky

Pam Turner, operating the Wildwood Wildlife Shelter, sheltered 20 joeys during the Grampians fires as they were too young to evacuate but too big to leave.

The Grampians national park has faced multiple bushfires since 2006, dramatically impacting 85% of its area and putting wildlife at significant risk.

Wildlife Victoria anticipates catastrophic impacts from the fires, predicting substantial loss of wildlife due to habitat destruction, burns, and starvation.

Wildlife are on the frontline of climate change, struggling for survival amidst fires where they lack safe refuge, highlighting urgent needs for climate action.
