Who's excited for World Wombat Day tomorrow? 🐾 | Wombat Awareness Organisation

Hope the wombat has officially left the building and moved to her new home in the wild at Cedar Creek Wombat Rescue Inc and Wombat Hospital! It was a pleasure for us to hand raise Hope after she had a rough start to life and we're so excited to see her grow up at Cedar Creek! Hope brought a lot of joy to us during our closure and happiness all over the world to those who needed it most. We love her and can't wait to visit her in the wild! | Australian Reptile Park

Canberra-based wombat rescuer Yolandi Vermaark of Wombat Rescue is on the frontline of fighting mange in wombats.

It's a hard story to watch, but Yolandi believes all Australians need to open their eyes to the incredible suffering wombats with mange endure. | Australian Geographic
