Civilians and the Australian army are determined to help the injured koalas. The army also joined forces with the firefighter rescuers who are saving animals after the Australian wildfires.
While the firefighter rescues are saving the animals from certain death, the soldiers decided to provide better care to the koalas who lost their homes in the fires.
The army visited the Cleland Wildlife Park, South Australia during their rest time. They also went the Adelaide Hills to stop the fires from spreading in that region. Currently, 120 soldiers are deployed to Kangaroo Island to help in the aftermath of the wildfires. The number will rise to 600 in the upcoming days.

These pictures show that even soldiers are compassionate. Although they must be exhausted from the war against the bushfires, they also want to help the survived koalas.
Many koalas died in the devastating bushfires. As a result, they may be on the verge of extinction. It is estimated that 80% of the koala population on Kangaroo Island has died in the wildfires.
