In 6 months. Will. Destroy. The human tragedy. Of. Littering the ground. For. More than a 1000000000 animals have been killed. Teetering on the brink. Of medical. Expertise to go extinct in the struggle. To investigate a strange. Off the Southern Coast of australia is a natural wonder. Kangaroo island is famous for its beautiful landscapes in june eak wildlife. But now its unrecognizable when we saw the fires hit Kangaroo Island and its pretty clear straight away that it was bad the seas evan quoting me hes come to the island with one mission to save as many animals as he can. Today hes heading to an area where until recently koalas thrived. By heading out towards the Flinders ChaseNational Park which was one of the 1st areas to be hit by fire on the island and so. Extremely confronting the amount of deaths i mean. For every every at why when we bring in were saying hundreds that the died in the fires. Now were seeing dozens and dozens as well that have you know died of dehydration or starvation since. As we drive further and a grisly scene. Gets me every single time theres. Koalas but mostly wallabies probably about. 550 of them just old but you can see as they have escaped the forest that none of them made it there was just no way to run this whole place was just. Its excessively traumatic. Evans with a team from Humane Society international including Disaster Response specialist kelly donovan. And shes already spotted something stunning showing so. In the fall for the trade kind of just looking at that building. It looks like its going to be a fairly easy bake up and thats the thing with the west they are the easy way out of. The fact that you can just walk up about that would never happen in the wild to say these are wild animals. So here we go our. First joy of the day. Kangaroo island is the only place in history with a koala population is free of disease while they are endangered on the mainland here in numbers have soared even prompting calls for a cult but now 80 percent of the habitat is gone and this is a water station that we set up. So were going to check the cameras on that there are so caught up in the trees around here so we can just move cautiously in quietly well check it out and see if anything else to say shit right. So i dont have any to eat out here but if were going to least get them some something to drink then they might be able to last a few more days and that gives us a chance to come out and hopefully pick them up and save them. From that old diag. Being blown around the sweetness and show you that theyre going up there so these ones theyre going to be. Even though they seem ok conditions you know we just know that looking around through these forests theres nothing for them to eat or kilometers theres no way that theyre going to be able to survive in the long term. Theres a quality. Right at the base of the tree so hes got this tree fall for the fall. So its been coming down and i think about one. That being used as that is reading right out it thats really warming thats our 1st evidence we have these chemical saudia so thats good we know that theyre doing the job. So that the small we move on through the charge forest so. You can see here just come across the bodies of the dead mother and its young joey theyve died together and they sometimes find. Eucalyptus sorry bullet oil in terms of the oil that they have in them so we would have just it would just be like an explosion occurred here and. Just would have been devastating. In the distance kelly spoke the koala moving along the ground. So he just sat so. Were going to try the basement pickwick found. Songs are stable and one of. Those sort of. Kelly wants to rush to school while out to a bit for help. Spend a very small percentage of time on the ground so the fact that we find them going around and theyre approachable shows that theres an issue happening its probably hydration and lack of nutrition. On the way back to the calm she spots another one. All. Just. To cause a spike so. At. Least. A little but. This is supposed to be a peak tourism season on kangaroo. But instead of sightseeing is flying new this soldiers in 580. 5 was spotted by lightning have raged through the dense bush land seems. Even causing fire tornadoes. Alcoholic oh god oh my. God let me get now i dont go nowhere and you cant get out of. The car some locals try to protect the property. But dozens of homes were lost and 2 people died. Almost half of Kangaroo Island has been braised. About 2100 square kilometers and this is whats left of them just Chase National park the scorched landscape have been home to a diverse range of native wildlife many of which found nowhere else. To cope with the number of seek and injured on a movie volunteers have set up a clinic at the Kangaroo IslandWildlife Sanctuary kelly and evan bringing in their best. I mean the one among the volunteers is dr Peter Hutchison just give a little bit of action hes been caring for animals for more than 30 years by all so we dont need to check for help. Were quite. In that was probably a little bit of a hot dry did a little bit on the why. Hes in pretty good shape and artfully if we can just give him a bit of hard try to. Give him a cane hopefully hell be running around and i thought i will go for this one this is ray where normally finding lots of buttons on the fate that we need to treat we need for human pain relief antibiotics. Cases like this one on an operating table nearby. As much as the eye looked quite bad husayn a lot of these coming lattes and theyve healed quite nicely and. A lot of the time. In one to 2 weeks theyre almost healed. So this is the microchip that this is how we identify them and this is were just going to put it in here and otherwise you end up with the wrong one getting the wrong traits meant. Theyre going to clot and have a hard call to head. Well this is the one i was see. That means theres a 160. 00 is also ss and i say i had about. More than 300. Look at the areas just slightly saying theyre not to bad. All eyes are on. The phone on. Just before he says thats looking good. One is got a little been on the fort its one leg and thats not something we need to treat at this stage and looking good. With fame. And like yes man real clear so vitally so were checking for joey she did have a job because the take is quite. So unfortunately with the fall and the stress and the hard drive shes dropped the jawi im fortunate that survival mechanism with them. That if theres any stress in their law. They will just go to jail with so sad. Unfortunately its a bargain making reason for them. Has volunteered to help in full bushfire in the agencies over the last 5. To 12 next want to see if they like him but he says he hasnt seen anything quite like this if you are right. Now for the other schools that will require that this is a lot harder because the severity of the injuries seem to be much worse than what im saying in the past. And theres certainly a lot more dead while bar families. Dealing with the births number of dead on a move is taking a heavy toll on frontline both in t. V. Everyones an ecologist usually spends more time writing about threats and wildlife than working in the field. Its been a bit surprising to me but i feel im pretty resilient person but the mental impact has been. The things ive been saying out here have been giving me not me is just the past is that theyve died thats particularly haunting the stench of death. Nothing could have prepared me for it i knew there were bad animals here but the scale is. It to. Capi described. There im a im a wildlife lover its just you know thats the reason i do what i do it breaks my heart to see the agony that is going on out here and its been its been extremely stressful wage. While the plight of the stray is koalas and kangaroos has been attracting the worlds attention conservationists are rushing to rescue other lesser known animals which are at risk of extinction. The wildlife loss has come into waves the 1st of the animals that died in the fire and the 2nd is playing out right now as those that survive to battle it out over whatever food is left its also become a Hunting Ground with the cover provided by trees and foliage now gone leaving little protection from predators. Ally. Im meeting with wildlife ecologist pat hudgens hes hoping one of the worlds most vulnerable species the Kangaroo Island down not. You know about 200 meters away probably from an australian is probably breast animal that was going over the. Pats been studying the small mouth lacma superego for more than 5 means so the kangaroo and its part of the doesnt your own family which has got a whole lot of different species within it so the tasmanian tiger wasnt was was related to those guys in the tasmanian devil and western qualls and hunger all and theyre the only knights of can have or not have kind of response so if you know. That that lives within this within this habitat. They were thought to be less than 500. 00 of them before the fire is but nearly all of the habitat has been destroyed by a flood. Its on recognisable look if you were here a month ago before the far as you would be pushing through big vegetation these banks you know why are you here so you know we wouldve been kind of pushing through like this and getting scratched and yeah and so its a lot follow a little i dont know pathways are here so its totally under he knows what the island. But i mean its we are lucky to have some of these little tiny little patches of aid and i guess youd say right now the only done you know about living in that little patch so i actually really could be the last dance that weve been going. Theres good news we have done out here at last not so you can see here on the way if you look there on that rock. Thats the little shell of the it was amazing to think that just a few hours ago there was a kangaroo right there just makes you work for and yeah thats right you know its time Time Critical now thats for sure no action is too small in pats bid to save this local species every day he tosses meal worms into the area for donna to eat its not unrealistic to think that were you know monitoring the extinction of an animal thats. Documented in real time yeah something on never thought i would be doing in my career thats for sure and yeah were just going to work bloody hard to make it not be the case. Its not going to be easy for 4 years may have passed but the Kangaroo Island donna is still under threat. Has got a very large feral cat population right now everythings coming into this very small patches of habitat and its like a you know kind of like a war zone and really like everyones fighting for survival and the feral cats you know a hollywood volved predator is destroyed in my circles trying animals have an evolved ever with a predator quite like it so if you have a small animal like a don are coming up against Something Like a cat. You know its its a disaster waiting to happen. Patz has set up 26. 00 cat traps around this critical fight including something a little high tech us or to see now weve got descent one of the felix growing traps which is a new technology that were traveling so i will look and see how its gone. Felix uses a special array of cameras and motion sensors to accurately detect when a feral cat is walking const. And when it does. It will fire out some toxin onto the back on quarter of the cat and the cat being a cat will instinctively ground itself so even if it was just water on the cats back the cat has to clean itself inside the cat ingests a toxic dies of poison and then will go off and on many ecologists like cats believe its one of the more humane ways to cull feral cats so to some a look here on this us been see whats happened ive been on. Here with. So thats cat lost. And hasnt been hit with the talk that cat has been here so we have you know taken another cat so thats its actually the best easily kind of hype for a lot of people will be wondering why someone who blah blah blah blah conformation over 3 point killing i will. Tell us why so well carol pap yeah official i mean look way way no through Extensive Research in australia the feral cats you know one of the case running processes to our native species cats are introduced to australia theyve been here for a couple of centuries like about 200 years. Thats a great thats a great pets amazing animals in their normal environment but here in australia where i dont belong you know theyre all cats of westing for a night of animals and we owe it to those native species to help them as much as we turn and remove the predation pressure while we can. How much damage can one. Thank. You one cat in one nor could take out the whole population that weve that we turn you know about the rank of course. Extension of atlanta yeah exactly i mean you know what you know initially you know the fire has been a big catalyst but the cat. Following up is its potentially the thing to finish off the species so you can bond these 2 big threatening processes. Could could take it out for sure all of like roughly 10 when the stakes are these high catch traps and going to be enough to save these critically endangered mammals so patches mapping out a fence to keep feral cat sounds where you get to i managed to get a pretty striking one from that he brought through and thats the critical vegetation that weve got that out still surviving in there because if we waited those guys probably wouldnt be here so weve just got to get the get the species through the next couple of weeks until we get the fence off and then well be able to sleep sleep a little bit easier. Back across the island at the clinic the vets have their hands full. This is where he one i thought is pater is checking on the koalas evan and kelly brought in the day before to have a look and you got all kinds of this little one here a little bit shot as we can say you know eyes to look in on. Because quite well i was trying to use this as a tree in the past so a grip in the back legs on the by so vent and thats what qualities do they want to always hold on to something she doesnt want to be with. A monument. But it does look like shes been a thin and drinkin. Not too concerned that this point what all 4 whole lot of them said they would all fall down so that will be if shes got any white and continues to ace and drink over the next 48 hours and then we would be put in there in the relay span. With some other fame ause and then hopefully in a couple of weeks tom will start looking for areas around Kangaroo Island we can then release them out into the wall. So we will have a check on them mile that you picked up yesterday i. T 106. Just not this one where you. Thought you might be up to trade. And i am. Only on the band. Guy and odds are looking good really good if they have conned the tray that means theyre failing this is my new hire him this is where i want to live so he is adjusting to the whole thing here yet there my back we want them to actually have a little bit of thought. If i dont have some fault and i accept it really read it slowly especially being a wild animal weve become so and about. So they said its a real critical patches that we need to protect meanwhile pets has a new ally in his quest to save the Kangaroo Island sternness professional feral cat Chapa Mari Schofield so had very hands on the camera trots murrays with the astray in wild last conservancy a group dedicated to protecting native animals from introduced species which were very small been tough the longer it was going to wally with a little bean. All on its a delicate log on. He is running along the other side of the fence then he catches me trying trying to work out how to get 3. Its great news proof that the species has survived another night. But theres also been a more common this discovery we found another cat we havent seen him before looks like a female cat and got lots of images of her actually walking past a camera and she is calling a sock see shes her left foot is what. Its really important when you find cat sitting here that we identify how many there are and hes a spit of the onion so you can actually not home arranging here. Mari so really kind of going in. On her movements to try to try to hunt and then you want to get trapped in failure stop and get me. Yeah im going to wake to go before we can get this fenced so. Every not its critical for the little guys right now. Not pressure and i pressure. Mari gets to play a couple different models who. They called cattle thats what we call the stall a trap. Because its a like a vault so they get locked in the. Cats but. Them killing the dugout. Maris trying hodge not to fixate on his latest obsession finding socks he jumped on the bed knowing what i looked like good that you cats and all the cat will befall him they get another one of us not him and he still out there that somebody bad not with a look over right away yeah yeah because you know i havent got him yet or havent got it. But within just a few days sucks hes been called. With the help of traps and fences pats hopes that the Kangaroo Island donna its not only some fond of the finest seasons devastation but will try. Meanwhile evans time on Kangaroo Island has come to an end for now. In spain one of the best and most devastating experiences of my life but i cant wait to get back here and see how this place bounces back. We still dont know how devastating the long term consequences of these spies will be not just here on camera while im but you know strether as a whole but his pain amazing resilience in the Community Everyone just helping each other out and for us what we need.
