Huge congratulations to Tracey Wilson & volunteer vet James Cowell at #MosswoodWildlife in VIC on receiving a Golden Leaf Award from Koala Conservation Australia.
The award for their tireless and humble work rescuing & treating 300+ koalas a year, victims of car hits, dog attack & blue gum harvesting is incredibly well deserved & IFAW is proud to be their long-term partner.
