URGENT APPEAL, January 2020:
​Across Australia, over 8.4 million hectares of Australian land has been burned to the ground. That’s more than the Amazon and Californian fires combined. More than 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. Visit WWF-Australia to lend your urgently needed support!
