Raging Wildfires Devastate Helpless Wildlife in Australia

Australia is suffering from out-of-control, raging wildfires caused by an unfortunate combination of climate conditions. The abnormally dry spring has turned eastern Australia into a tinderbox which was easily set alight by the unseasonably warm temperatures of December 2019.

People are dying and losing their homes to fires that spread from the bush to residential areas. Animals that live in the bush itself have fared even worse. Many are unable to escape and are burnt to death. Those lucky enough to be rescued by volunteer rescue workers are the fortunate minority.
