A state of emergency has been declared in New South Wales and Victoria as we face some of the most dangerous and catastrophic bushfires our nation has ever seen. We’re also seeing destructive fires raging in South Australia.
WWF are greatly saddened by the loss of life and homes, as well as the injuries suffered in the bushfires.
In NSW alone we’ve seen almost four million hectares burnt already. And while trees burn, our wildlife also suffers. It’s been estimated that over 480 million animals have been killed in the NSW bushfires since September. This includes the death of thousands of koalas, with many more injured and countless are now homeless.
The catastrophic megafires are worsening the extinction crisis we’re already facing.
The majority of koalas on Australia’s east coast live within the “Koala Triangle,” a region where the species could be extinct in as little as 30 years. Fires are raging through this area, potentially accelerating this timeline.
When the fires clear, we will need to restore what has been lost.
