Flash floods exploded in important sanctuates for Australian animals

Careful workers are running to protect a valuable group of Australian animals after New South Wales recording leads the floods of four people.

Devils in Tasmanian (Sarcophilus Harrisii), clash-tailed rock wallabies (Petrogale Penicillata), Eastern Quolls (Dasyurus Vivrinus), high nosed potoroos (Potorous tridactylus) and wide tooth-toothed rats (Mastacomys brown) Everything is kept free from feral predators such as cats and foxes at 400-hectare Aussie Ark Sanctuary in Barrington. Sanctuary animals are considered an insurance policy for their species, in case of wild populations disappear.

Since 2010, 500 devil Joeys was born there and nearly 50 of them released in a specially protected wild place. In the coming years, some of these animals are expected to be released outside the sanctuary To establish the Devil population in Tasmania in Mainland Australia.

But this week, a severe low-pressure system was hit in parts of New South Wales, leading storms that recorded storms. In just a few days, more than 400 millimeters of rain fell into the sanctuary. Even if it is at the top of a mountain at a height of 1200 meters, the park experienced flooding, quitting animals and threatened to drown some animals in small enclosures.

Tim Faulkner at Aussie Ark Most animals say to breed encelloses but the larger problem faced with the sanctuary is that around a mile of the 10-kilometer perimeter damaged or, in some locations, fully erased by floods.

“We got about a kilometer of the fence affected from the corner of the corner, the sections were washed and pushed wires damaged,” Faulkner said. “The electrified hot wire is completely down, so we’re lucky we’re not Tyrannosaurus Rex try our defenses. “

While fences are damaged, Faulkner’s team camped throughout the clock, keeping the broken sections. So far, there are no native species that are thought to escape and no one has entered feral beless.

“There the water of the water, pushing, pushed, flooded, flooded, flooded from every little flood under the mountain,” Faulkner said.
