Canberra-based wombat rescuer Yolandi Vermaark of Wombat Rescue is on the frontline of fighting mange in wombats. Here, Australian Geographic follows her on one of her typical weekends, which involves looking for joeys in roadkill and treating a small population of wombats with cydectin that helps get rid of mange. It's a hard story to watch, but Yolandi believes all Australians need to open their eyes to the incredible suffering wombats with mange endure. | Australian Geographic
