Stark increase in koala rescue callouts reveals deadly problem | #yahoonewsau

Subscribe and turn on notifications🔔 : https://buff.ly/3F6ZiLt | A stark increase in callouts to rescue displaced and injured koalas in this small Aussie town has shocked wildlife experts.

WIRES rescuer Tanya Arentz told Yahoo News Australia that she received three callouts from NSW’s Inverell in just a matter of hours.

“It’s not normal. I get a lot of rescues, but not three in just over two hours.”

Tanya believes that koala calls are skyrocketing because a lack of trees is forcing the animals to climb street signs and power poles as a last resort.

She explained, “Unless there’s a significant clump of trees, they close moisture, and that’s forcing koalas to move further east into cooler country.”

Until two years ago, rescuers were receiving just one or two callouts a year, but this season’s rescue numbers are expected to eclipse last year’s record of 46.
