How nature rebounded from a 2009 wildfire in the Australian state of Victoria that decimated more than a million acres of forest. Wildlife Health Center personnel nursed injured animals, including wombats and kangaroos, back to health while nature also took root on its own, with dormant buds sprouting from beneath fire-insulating bark; orchids and lilies blooming in profusion; and birds competing for food and nesting sites. Also: rare possums are provided with feeding stations and nest boxes.
