Record-breaking temperatures and the worst drought in the history of Australia have caused catastrophic fires all around the country. Until now, at least 33 people have been killed by the fires [1] and according to estimates by ecologists at Sydney University over 1 billion animals have been perished since November 2019. [2]
Overall, it can be assumed that 11 million hectares have been burned since the fires started and there is still no end in sight. Although rain and cooler temperatures in the past few weeks have led to slightly better conditions, there are still 50 fires burning and 2.700 firefighters in action. [1] Especially Canberra is currently threatened by the massive bushfires that are raging a few kilometers South from the Australian capital, which is why the ACT (Australian Capital Territories) declared a state of emergency on Friday the 31st of January for the first time since the devistating fires in 2003.
