About this book

After Australia's Black Summer bushfires, Kailas Wild felt helpless and decided to act. An arborist by trade, he first helped hold containment lines in threatened rainforest in New South Wales, then went to Kangaroo Island for seven weeks to help rescue koalas from the burnt land.

He describes the work as gruelling and rewarding, and as a change in himself.
