Filename: WAM6994 Headline: Injured koalas are transported to an RSPCA triage site in Bairnsdale, Victoria, where they will receive treatment for burns, smoke inhalation, and dehydration. Bairnsdale Area, Australia, 2020. Jo-Anne McArthur / We Animals Description: Australia’s Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) was among several animal NGOs to set up triage stations in and near burn sites during the cataclysmic bushfires in Australia. The RSPCA set up a mobile veterinary clinic in Bairnsdale where burn victims such as koalas, wombats, and many other small animals were brought for assessment and treatment. From the mobile clinic, animals would be sent for longer term care at zoos, sanctuaries, and wildlife rehabilitation centres. As the bushfires raged in Australia, We Animals sent its founder Jo-Anne McArthur to document the fires’ effects on both wild and domestic animals. With Animals Australia, Jo-Anne toured thousands of kilometers throughout the states of Victoria and New South Wales. An estimated 3 billion animals were killed or displaced in the fires that season.
