19 Oct 2020 03:42PMKANANGRA-BOYD NATIONAL PARK, Australia: At work, Morgan Philpott cares for sick children. In his off-hours the Australian paediatric nurse turns his attention to an equally defenceless group: Unwell koalas.
Tracey cares for twin koala joeys, who have been diagnosed as being underweight, and their mother named Gladys, at a rehabilitation enclosure next to her home. New state laws have sought to limit the ability of farmers to clear land deemed important for koala habitat, setting off a political brawl between urban conservationists and people in the bush who wanted to manage their own property.
"The rate of tree-clearing and loss of habitats behind all of the other factors that threaten them in those developed areas which include domestic dog attacks and vehicle strikes," said Kellie Leigh, head of Science for Wildlife, a non-profit conservation organisation, before releasing a koala mother and its joey onto a charred tree sprouting green chutes in the Kanangra-Boyd National Park, about 200km west of Sydney.
