Beside the Barrier Highway just east of Manna Hill is this impressive raven's nest. I always notice it and sometimes stop. There were two babies when I went by recently. (Taken with a long lens a long way from the nest. In fact, I was over on the other side of a busy highway - so not close.)

On #WorldRabiesDay, we highlight a breakthrough in reaching animals beyond the clinic. Palatable oral rabies vaccines—designed to resemble treats—offer a humane, effective way to immunise stray dog populations & wildlife like foxes and raccoons 🐶🦊🐾 #OneHealth #RabiesFreeStreets bit.ly/48Cxw9q

Did you know? #Rabies is preventable, yet every year thousands of people - mostly children - needlessly die. Over 99% of human rabies cases are caused by dog bites. The solution is simple: Vaccinate at least 70% of dogs in a community to eliminate rabies. #EndRabiesNow

On #WorldRabiesDay, we renew our commitment to eliminating rabies—a critical #OneHealth challenge that affects both humans and animals

Today is #WorldRabiesDay. It marks 140 years since the first successful rabies vaccine—a milestone in medical history & a reminder of the ongoing global effort to eliminate this deadly disease.
