Australia Fire Emergency
Australia is experiencing a catastrophic bushfire season driven by record temperatures and drought, with over 10 million hectares burned as of January 11. The fires have caused significant human casualties, destroyed thousands of homes, and led to the predicted death of billions of animals, including over 50% of the koala population on Kangaroo Island. WWF is responding by providing urgent care for injured wildlife, implementing science-based habitat restoration, and working with Indigenous and rural communities to improve future fire response and resiliency based on climate science.
