Each year thousands of kangaroos and other Australian wildlife are killed or fatally injured by cars, often dying slow and traumatic deaths, having been clipped, but not immediately killed. 

If someone stops and checks, sometimes joeys can be found still alive in their dead mother's pouch, and if lucky, can be rescued and cared for by dedicated people such as Des, until they are well and old enough to be relocated.

 Des lives on Kangaroo Island just off the South Australian mainland.
