Refuges concerned about the impact of the heatwave on wild animals and birds | VRT NWS: news

Refuges that care for sick and injured wild animals and birds say that they have never seen so many creatures admitted for treatment as they did last week. The continuing drought and high temperatures mean that animals and birds are finding it more difficult to find sufficient food and water. The coming week will be warmer still. The country’s refuges are calling on people to do their bit to help our wild animals and birds survive the heatwave.
