The Australian Park of Carcassonne may be closed for the winter, the animal and leisure center is not idle. On Wednesday, he relayed on his website and his Facebook page a call from the association Animal Rescue Collective, which comes to the aid of the wildlife very hard hit by the fires in Australia.

The objective: ask volunteers from "Occitania and more widely from France" to make "cloth pockets intended to house all orphaned baby kangaroos".

Manufacturing instructions have been attached to the message. These bags can be sent directly to the Australian Park, or dropped off at collection points in Toulouse, Marseille, Nîmes and Négrepelisse (Tarn-et-Garonne).

Friday in front of "the enormous outpouring of generosity", the Audois center created in 2001, which expects "thousands of pockets", launched a kitty to help it "take care of all shipping and customs costs to the 'Australia'.
