Call Of The Wild
What’s that, Skip? You’re on the cover of the latest edition of The Big Issue? Join us on the road, as we celebrate the compassionate vets and vet nurses of Wildlife Victoria’s Travelling Vet Service, who save the lives of Australian animals every day of the week. Photojournalist Doug Gimesy captures these wildlife rescues in his stunning images: uplifting and heartbreaking all at once. Plus: we have a practical guide with hands-on tips to help you protect our native animals, too.
