Ash and Cedar the wombats
In January 2020, IFAW deployed responders to support our Australia team and care for animals impacted by the devastating bushfires. We received news that a carer at Native Animal Rescue Group in New South Wales had ten rescued baby wombats in rehabilitation. While helping her on-site, we met Ash and Cedar, two of the baby wombats receiving round-the-clock care. Cedar was found by a local landowner who spotted her wandering alone on the road. She was so tiny that the landowner originally thought she was a kitten!
In the wild, wombats spend the first two years of their lives with their mother. To mimic this natural process and ensure that the wombats are ready for life in the wild, the caretakers will look after Ash and Cedar for two years.
