The bushfires in Australia have now been burning for two months straight. Unprecedented heatwaves combined with a severe drought have led to what can now unquestionably be categorized as a national (and quite honestly, worldwide) environmental crisis. Approximately 26 million acres have burned during this bushfire season across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania. In New South Wales alone, 12 million acres have burned. That’s larger than the size of Denmark. It’s estimated that over a billion animals have perished in this disaster. Some 25,000 koalas are believed to have been killed on Kangaroo island alone, after half the island burned a couple weeks ago. Some 4,000 animals have been euthanized. At least 25 people have died. At least 2,000 homes have been burnt to the ground.
