Australia is being hit by the worst wildfires in history, with high temperatures and months of drought causing massive wildfires across mainland Australia.
Reporting from the BBC, forest fires have occurred since September and are still ongoing today with a total damage of more than 16.8 million burned lands, more than 6,500 buildings destroyed and 30 people died to date.
Not only humans, 800 million native Australian animals in NSW (New South Wales) and more than 1 billion nationwide, including bats, amphibians, invertebrates, native Australian mammals, such as kangaroos and koalas are also threatened with extinction.
One-third of Kangaroo Island, Australia’s third largest island, has caught fire. Most of the islands are designated as protected areas such as
singalauts, penguins, kangaroos, koalas, bees, and various other types of animals.
The number of koalas that survive is up to 25,000 or about half of the total population of the species on the island.
And many more native Australian animals are injured, displaced and face a difficult future while food resources are low and predators have a greater chance of preying on native species whose habitat has been destroyed.
The wildfires have also raised the air temperature in Australia by 40 degrees Celsius. Despite falling temperatures due to recent rains, more than 60 fires are still burning in the states of New South Wales and Victoria. Weather forecasts forecast the weather
hot and windy will hit the state of New South Wales again this week.
