A blow to efforts to save a species.
Bushfires in WA’s cape Arid park have threatened the habitat of critically endangered western Ground parrots – however according to the local Dept of Environment and Conservation, no one’s been able to get into the area to see if or how many of the birds have survived.

Hopefully some or all of the parrots managed to get clear of the fire as there are thought to be only around 200 of these left in the wild.
