Wildlife in a fire ground — background

IN A DISASTER,
THEY HAVE NO ONE.

Australia's laws fail them. Our response forgets them. It's time for a National Plan.

A PLAN FOR EVERYONE

NO NATIONAL PLAN

Australia lacks a federal mandate. Rescue efforts are a patchwork, leaving animals stranded when every second is critical.

THE HUMAN COST

Guardians risk their lives to save pets. The psychological trauma of forced abandonment affects first responders for a lifetime.

A SOLVABLE ISSUE

This is achievable. With legislated integration and permanent funding, we create a future where no animal is left behind.

"ALL WE FOUND
WERE BONES."

"It's a monstrous event in terms of geography and the number of individual animals affected… we can't allow catastrophes of this magnitude to continue."

— PROFESSOR CHRIS DICKMAN, UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY

Bushfire aftermath — bones in ash

VOICES OF THE MOVEMENT

"During the bushfires, we had no idea where to take our horses. We felt so alone. A national plan is long overdue."

— Sarah, NSW Guardian

"As a volunteer, the lack of coordination is heartbreaking. We need clear leadership to give these animals a fighting chance."

— David, QLD Wildlife Volunteer

"I've emailed my minister. It's so easy to do, and it's a powerful way to demand change for those who cannot speak."

— Chloe, VIC Activist
