Dear Resident, I am here to tell you about the wonderful land around you that is also in danger. Newells Paddock is home to numerous amounts of species that are native and introduced such as: · Skinks. · Swamp Wallabies. And many more. These animals are slowly dying out because of introduced species such as: · Feral Cats. · Red Fox. · European Rabbit. These animals are making it harder for the native animals to survive. There are ways that you can help such as leaving water out or sometimes even the type food that the animal eats. Feral cats are eating all the native birds causing a break in the food chain. This is happening because the feral cats aren’t like domestic cats because feral cats only know how to hunt and they are not pampered. If you see a feral cat hanging around the wetlands, do not approach it or else it will feel threatened and may attack you. But the feral cat is not the only one destroying the grasslands. You are to with every piece of litter that is dropped daily. So ask yourself: Do you really want the natural habitat surrounding you to be gone when your children are having kids of their own? If not then make the change that will change your life. Yours sincerely, Cassidy Cook.
