URGENT APPEAL: Across the country, over 8.4 million hectares of Australian land has been burned to the ground. That’s more than the Amazon and Californian fires combined. Over 900 million animals have lost their lives, and 480 million animals have been killed by fire in NSW alone, including thousands of koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, birds and other iconic wildlife. Your support is urgently needed to care for injured wildlife and restore their homes.

I was reading about Australia's tragedy yesterday and it was so hard not to cry...
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna,
DeleteNo doubt you'll be reading about this for quite some time, the fires have been burning now for several months. We lost another fire fighter overnight, he was 60 years old and had been part of the fire fighting network for 40 years, he leaves a wife, daughter and son.
It is very sad. :(

The whole situation is so horrific. Our beloved native wildlife is dying because of this. Thank you for the link. I had recently read about this organisation. The thought of our native animals becoming extinct breaks my heart.
ReplyDeleteHi Alasse,

Ah thank you so much for the link. I had been trying to find a local one to donate to as there's a few international ones around. Have donated to WIRES.
DeleteYou're welcome Alasse, we donate to WWF each year for the bears, but donated to WIRES this year too.
DeletePoor baby... Bushfires are such a tragedy, that it's hard to imagine how much demage they have caused... I heard about this action, I guess WWF is coordinating it here too.
ReplyDeleteThere are many like that Chiriann, not just koalas, kangaroos, echidna and wallabies, so even just a simple $5 donation will help . . . it all adds up.
DeleteBig hugs,

This is so sad. WWF has my support anyway, I will add to my usual donation.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Mia. People do have insurance to help them recover and rebuild, but the animals have nothing and with their habitats burned to the ground, it will be a long time before those that survive will be able to return to their "homes", so every penny counts.

Pobre Australia... Un abrazo a todas las criaturas que habitan ese hermoso país 😥😥😥
ReplyDeleteGracias Ilona Estoy seguro de que todas las criaturas apreciarán tus pensamientos.
DeleteGrandes abrazos,

It's terrible Sandi, my soul breaks every time I see in the news the bushfires you are having there. Too many lives have been lost 😭
ReplyDeleteGreetings ^^
Yes it is Lily, fortunately we had heavy rain yesterday and it's dampened things down a bit, thank heavens.
DeleteBut now, "the NSW SES is urging residents in fire affected areas to take care as the risk of flash flooding, falling trees and landslips could increase as wet weather impacts the fire grounds".
If it's not one thing, it's another. I just hope things settle down and everyone can all look forward to a speedy recovery.

It is heartbreaking, so tragic. Thinking of you all Sandi. Biggest hugs xxxx
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to see the animals in so much distress, but fortunately there are many people working hard to save as many as they possibly can. Thank you Sharon.
