Saving Lives

Yesterday was a very sad day at the sanctuary. A beautiful young kangaroo named Coco unfortunately had to be put down due to a severe infection from the wounds on her legs. The vets say it was probably a snake or monitor lizard that got to her. Even after much dedicated care and love, she still couldn't make it through. 

All of us were heartbroken. We had a burial and ceremony for her. Rest in peace lovely Koko.

It amazes me how much of an impact animals have on humans. Even though I didn't know Koko for very long she reminded of how much love and compassion I have for animals. As humans I think we all have a connection with animals and nature in general. 
Although it was a sad day it did remind me that a lot of kangaroos and wallabies have been saved and rehabilitated by these wonderful people. I'm very thankful and blessed to be helping nature's creatures at this sanctuary. 

Be kind and compassionate to nature. We were meant to share the abundant natural resources of this earth not destroy everything. Our planet is so beautiful with so many amazing creatures that it needs to be cherished and cared for. 

People need to seriously take part in helping the environment which will result in helping all living things. Everyone can do their part! Even the smallest thing like recycling a takeaway coffee cup, consciously buying environmentally friendly products, composting, using less water, turning off lights, using green energy or caring for a sick animal. Petitions and contacting your government to get their ass in gear can also help!  Don't we all want to live in a beautiful, peaceful world where we can breathe clean air and help the planet's amazing wildlife? 
I'll stop the rant but I don't think we realize how majestic, beautiful and fragile our planet really is.

A new adventure

Off to a new adventure! After a great vacation in Queensland I'll be taking care of wallabies and kangaroos at a sanctuary near Mareeba. I think it will be quite a unique experience and I'm looking forward to helping wildlife. During my time off I'll be working on finishing my album and writing new songs. A time for new experiences, projects and reflection.

Nature of Australia

New scenes new dreams.
Serene Australian nature that can only be described as pure beauty. 
It motivates me even more to be proactive in helping the environment. Conservation and an environmentally friendly world is a must in my books. We have one planet and one planet only. I'm going to make sure the beauty of our natural world is preserved, protected and remains beautiful until the end of time.
