Australia

Australia has been experiencing one of the largest natural disasters in recent history.

The fire season of 2019 brought with it unprecedented destruction, as wildfires have spread across every Australian state. Almost 6 million hectares (15 million acres) of bush has been burnt as of January 2020.

The devastation witnessed in is nearly unimaginable with 24 people killed, 500 thousand animals estimated dead, 1500 homes burnt to the ground and 3.6 million hectares (8.8 million acres) turned to cinder.

The area hit the hardest were New South Wales that is home to some of the most iconic of Australia’s wildlife – koalas, wombats, and kangaroos and their habitat is rapidly declining. We want you to help prevent that, by helping us reforest the whole area.
