BREAKING NEWS:
HENDRA VIRUS INFO....
FAWNA (NSW) Inc is the wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, release group licensed by National Parks Division of the Office of Environment and Heritage. FAWNA operates from Dungog, Stroud and Gloucester shires,nthn Great Lakes, Greater Taree, Port Macquarie-Hastings, and Kempsey shires. FAWNA’s volunteers rescue flying-foxes and work closely with them. Together with scientists & conserv-ationists who work with flying-foxes, wildlife rescue & care volunteers have an interest in any health risk associated with flying-foxes because they work closely with them. If flying-foxes were a direct risk to human health, they would be at greatest risk. But wildlife carers do not become ill due to working with flying-foxes. Their pets have not been affected. Flying-foxes are known carriers of the Hendra virus but at this stage there is no conclusive evidence to know if flying-foxes are the source, or the only source of the HeV that infects horses.
