Australia Wall map (without flames) by: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/607960013/australia-map-printable-wall-art-digital I'm sure by now most people have heard about the wild fires in Australia. Seems like lots of bad stuff has been happening lately and I feel absolutely helpless to know how to make a difference. I was saddened by the Rain Forest fires as well and felt the same way. Being a world away without any means to help on the spot I sent up prayers but didn't know how to help in any other way.
I was excited to find a way I can assist in helping the wildlife who have been injured and displaced due to the fires in Australia. There is a group of crafters in Australia who are helping local wildlife experts with things they need to rescue the animals in need. I wanted to share their links and a couple files to make things they could use if you are so inclined to make something and ship it to them. They include mailing addresses and lists of items that can be purchased and sent as well as a go fund me page for the wildlife groups. The Group ARFSNCrafts on Facebook offer some pdf files with instructions and patterns for various pouches and wraps for the animals as many are baby marsupials and are used to living in pouches. Here is a link to their file page. You can also join the group as well to see what other crafters are donating. https://www.facebook.com/groups/arfsncrafts/files/ You can also find a crochet hanging nest pattern for smaller animals at this link: https://lulostitchco.com/cocoon-hanging-basket-free-pattern/ If you want info on how to help the people of Australia here is a link with an article with info on the fires as well as a bottom section with a list of ways you can help. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/australian-fires-everything-we-know-and-how-you-can-help/
