Maryland Zoo to help Zoos Victoria in Australia wildfire efforts

BALTIMORE —The Maryland Zoo is helping its counterparts in Australia to support wildlife rescue and rehabilitation efforts in response to the Australia wildfires.

The Maryland Zoo is sending $3,000 from its Conservation Emergency Fund, and zoo volunteers will go directly to Zoos Victoria, which is operating three wildlife triage centers on the bushfire front lines.

"The impact of the Australia bushfires on wildlife is devastating," Don Hutchinson, the zoo's president and CEO, said in a statement. "Rescue and rehabilitative efforts will continue for a long time to come, and the needs will certainly grow. Conservation is at the forefront of The Maryland Zoo's mission, and we want to support our conservation colleagues at Zoos Victoria."

Baltimore can take the displaced Aborigines they can wander the streets and fit right in.
