This week on The ChickPeeps we take time out of our vegan-focused discourse to discuss the wildfires that broke out across Australia causing unimaginable devastation to Australia's wildlife. Evy speaks to Simone Clarke and Lena Aalby of World Animal Protection Australia to get an insight into what daily life is like now for the animal advocates in Australia, working to protect perhaps the most vulnerable victims of disasters. Simone and Lena share about the challenges faced in recovering from the fires, what’s happening to the rescued animals and why they believe in prioritising long-term recovery work to best protect animals in disasters. Also on this episode…

  • Simone and Lena discuss how charities spring into action and coordinate their strategies to approach all aspects of protecting animals affected by disasters.
  • Lena shares about the emergency relief work she personally partakes in to rescue and rehabilitate injured  and orphaned animals.
  • 1 billion animals perished: Is this statistic accurate and what does it mean for the future of the Australian wildlife?
  • Can these animals be rehabilitated and released into the wild after so much of the land was destroyed?
  • The resilience of the Australian landscape.
  • Why World Animal Protection believe in advocating for policy change as part of their strategy to protect animals.
  • What is the point of saving farm animals affected by disasters when ultimately people are going to kill them to eat?
  • Is veganism included in World Animal Protection's disaster prevention strategy?
  • Is fundraising the only thing we can do to help Australia heal?
  • Isn’t climate change only going to make the fires increase and is there hope for handling this problem?

Hello and welcome to the Chickpeeps podcast. This episode is brought to you in partnership with Vivo Life.

Adopting a plant-based diet is one of the best decisions you can make for your health. But as with any diet,

0:12.4

it's important to make sure we're getting the right nutrients. Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid

0:17.2

for maintaining a healthy heart and brain. Many people think fish is the best source

0:21.4

for omega-3, but fish don't actually make it themselves. They get it by eating a type of plant

0:26.5

called algae, which is rich in omega-3. So instead of eating fish, I use VivoLive's omega-3 supplement,

0:33.6

which is derived from algae. With a better absorption rate than flax and chia seeds,

0:38.6

algae oil is the purest form of omega-3 available, and it doesn't contain the heavy metals

0:43.2

and other pollutants found in fish. Like all of VivoLife's products, it is third-party tested

0:48.6

to ensure purity and is recommended by nutritionists for safe use during pregnancy.

Hello chickpeeps welcome to season two episode 13 I'm your host Ivana Lynch and this week

1:24.4

we're speaking about the Australian bushfires and what's next for animals with world animal protection.

1:29.7

So, as you can imagine, this wasn't an episode topic that we had planned for this season because it is, of course, about the fires that broke out all over Australia and have been ravaging the landscape and killing and injuring innumerable animals.

1:41.9

And I think we've all seen the pictures of the ruined

1:44.8

landscape and the injured koalas and worse. And it's been really hard not to feel anything but

1:50.1

sadness and despair. It's just hard to know what to do in times of disaster, to not feel helpless

1:56.0

and to have a concept of how to heal from this and how to help. So when my friend at World Animal Protection,

2:03.2

the lovely Katie Hobbes, who I hope will be on a future episode, she reached out to me and she

2:07.3

said, hey, would your listeners be interested in learning about our disaster recovery work at

2:11.1

World Animal Protection in Australia? I said yes, absolutely. So in case you're not familiar with
