维多利亚(Victoria)Grampians国家公园(Grampians Nation Park)的2025年严重野火摧毁了刷尾岩瓦拉比栖息地,使得不到50名幸存者面临狐狸和气候变化的持续威胁。
Severe 2025 bushfires in Victoria’s Grampians National Park devastated brush-tailed rock wallaby habitat, leaving fewer than 50 survivors facing ongoing threats from foxes and climate change.
2025年,Grampians国家公园的严重林火摧毁了维多利亚州最后一个刷尾岩墙壁殖民地之一的大部分栖息地,使得不到50人几乎没有食物和住所。
In 2025, severe bushfires in Grampians National Park destroyed much of the habitat for one of Victoria’s last brush-tailed rock wallaby colonies, leaving fewer than 50 individuals with little food and shelter.
虽然瓦拉比人躲在岩石缝隙中幸存下来,但公园工作人员提供了数月的补充喂养,以防止饥饿和减少食食风险。
Though the wallabies survived by hiding in rocky crevices, park staff provided months of supplemental feeding to prevent starvation and reduce predation risk.
包括阿德莱德大学大卫·塔格特(David Taggart)专家在内的专家指出,狐狸是主要威胁,而气候变化则通过增加火灾频率、延长干旱和迫使瓦拉比人迁移到更高海拔地区而加剧了危险,因为那里他们更容易受到掠食者的伤害。
Experts, including University of Adelaide’s David Taggart, say foxes are the primary threat, while climate change intensifies dangers by increasing fire frequency, prolonging droughts, and forcing wallabies to move to higher elevations—areas where they are more vulnerable to predators.
