Episode Details

Bird flu has arrived in Australia, hitting Western and South Australia—and scientists are sounding the alarm. Native duck populations, already battered by habitat loss and hunting pressures, face a devastating new threat. With wetlands shrinking and ducks forced into crowded spaces, the virus could wipe out entire species. Even though none are nationally threatened, some are endangered locally, and waterbird numbers have plummeted over decades. Hunting, still legal in some areas, adds unnecessary stress. This is a crisis we can’t afford to ignore.
