This is a YouTube video titled "ANIMALES de los INCENDIOS de AUSTRALIA 🐨 Cifras y Cómo Ayudar" created on January 15, 2020. The content is a monologue by an animal expert discussing the devastating bushfires in Australia, detailing the human and animal casualties, causes linked to climate change, and ongoing relief efforts. It also encourages viewers to contribute financially and adopt sustainable lifestyles to help mitigate such disasters.
Australia has been suffering from one of the worst bushfires in living memory for months, and although they have occurred in all the states of New South Wales, this is the most devastating. How many people and animals have really died? Why are these fires happening? In this new video by an animal expert, we will present the figures that have been released in the last few hours. Why are there so many fires in Australia? There is a fire season almost every year due to the hot and dry weather of the Australian summer. However, climate change has played a major role this time, making this season much longer and more intense. Strong winds have also played a role, spreading the fires at great speed, but it could have been avoided. A study published in 2008 warned the government of this situation and proposed a package of measures that were never fully implemented neither in Australia nor in the rest of the world. We will talk about the latest data below, but first, don't forget to subscribe to our channel to stay up to date with everything we share. To date, 28 people have lost their lives fighting the fires. Some of them were civilians, others volunteer firefighters. Figures vary regarding the area burned, but they range between 8 and 10 million hectares, the equivalent of Belgium or Ireland. In addition, it is estimated that 1.25 billion animals have died, mostly mammals, birds and reptiles. The most fatalities are kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, possums, wombats and echidnas. However, the badly injured survivors face a new challenge, surviving in a burnt area with no resources. For this reason, the Government of Novigales del Sur has launched an operation that involves dropping food such as sweet potatoes and carrots from helicopters so that the animals can survive after the tragedy. How can we help? Financial aid is needed to fight the fires and later help rebuild homes and maintain wildlife populations. You can visit the Australian Red Cross website, which manages evacuations, feeding the population and providing medical assistance. You can also visit the WF website, which is responsible for protecting native wildlife, and make your donation. You can also spread this message and strive to lead a more sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle, something that would surely have helped alleviate this situation.
