EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured by Bianca De Marchi, we are introduced to Purkunas the koala, a resilient survivor of the devastating bushfires that ravaged Australia's Blue Mountains. The image takes us on a tour of Taronga Zoo's Wildlife Hospital in Sydney, where Purkunas finds solace and care after being rescued from the path of destruction. With his soulful eyes and fluffy ears perked up, Purkunas stands as a symbol of hope amidst tragedy. Currently undergoing quarantine at Taronga Zoo, he represents countless other native Australian animals who have been affected by the catastrophic fires. The photograph not only showcases the adorable charm of this male wild koala but also sheds light on the tireless efforts made by organizations like Taronga Zoo to provide sanctuary for injured wildlife. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards protecting these precious creatures and their natural habitats. As we gaze upon this image, it is impossible not to feel an overwhelming sense of admiration for both photographer Bianca De Marchi and all those involved in rescuing and rehabilitating animals like Purkunas. Their dedication ensures that future generations will continue to marvel at the beauty and diversity of Australian wildlife. Let this snapshot serve as a poignant reminder that even in times of darkness, there is always room for compassion, resilience, and hope – qualities embodied perfectly by Purkunas himself.
