Saving our Species January 2020 newsletter

The first weeks of 2020 have been unspeakably difficult for Australian people, our environment and our plants and animals, which have faced unprecedented bushfires, soaring temperatures and severe drought across large areas of the country, including New South Wales.

Our threatened species are now facing a crisis in the wake of these catastrophic conditions.

The Saving our Species (SoS) team is working tirelessly to assess the impact of the bushfires on our vulnerable animals and plants, so we can adapt our projects and deliver intervention on-the-ground, where it's needed most.

In this special issue of SoS news, we're calling on you, as our supporters, to do whatever you can to help make a difference, whether it's reporting injured animal sightings, providing water sources for wildlife in your own backyard or making a donation to our hard-working partners or SoS.

We're also sharing how SoS is responding to the bushfire emergency through its on-ground interventions to protect threatened species and habitat.
