- **Event Name**: Introduction to Possum Care
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 01 Aug, 2026 at 09:45 am
- **Event Description**: ??? ???? ??? ???????? ???? ??? ?????
Our wildlife populations face many dangers as their habitat decreases and they are forced to live closer to us. The biggest dangers are cats, dogs, cars, poisons and loss of native habitat.

When concerned members of the public find wildlife that is sick, injured or orphaned, they look to vets and wildlife volunteers to step in and help. In a future of climate change, wildlife carers will be more important than ever, as we have seen with the critically endangered Western Ringtail Possum in W.A.
