Site Analysis
Wildlife Distribution In this map, we can see that native vegetation area and reservations shares an overlapping area in Flinders Chase National Park. Due to growth of eucalyptus trees, bush fire will be out of control easily in some circumstance.Also, this area are wildlife habitats .It detected that kangaroos, koalas and dunnarts active in this area.So, I choose this place as my site.

Devastating wildfires in Australia have caused the deaths of more than 40,000 animals on Kangaroo Island, where animal groups are trying to save as many as they can. The government's Primary Industries and Regions agency said nearly 44,000 sheep, cattle, horses, and other domesticated animals died in the fires or were euthanized. About 30 wild animals -- including koalas, wallabies, opossums, monitor lizards, and birds -- arrive daily at the island's wildlife park for treatment, where veterinarians have established an emergency medical center. Unfortunately, SA and WA do not allow pets in evacuation centers (with the exception of assistance animals), meaning they must be housed outside or at a different location. Animal management plans in these states cite fairly vague "health and safety" reasons for the exclusion.
So, I would like to design a project to help wildlife survive in the bushfires. I will design a network to evacuate wildlife from bushfires and build a shelter in the center of the network.

According to those three maps, we can see the movements of bushfires. And the movements of bushfires were affected by the vegetation distribution and the wind direction.
