Picture Of Burnt Baby Kangaroo Caught In Fence Shows How Destructive Australia's Bush Fires Are
Australia is facing an unprecedented national crisis, the bush fires are tearing through cities and rural areas, leaving millions of people and animals homeless and injured. Reports state that since September, at least 20 people have died and over 1,500 homes have been destroyed.
It's so bad that there is fear of entire species of plants and animals being wiped out by bush fires. So far, nearly 500 million animals have died, and if that does not alarm us, nothing will.
To paint a more realistic picture of the crisis facing wildlife, this image of a Joey (baby Kangaroo) caught and burnt while trying to escape, speaks volumes.
An Instagram page called the VetPaw shared this picture with the following caption, 'This crisis is real. This little joey (baby kangaroo) caught in the fence trying to escape the fires in Australia, tells the story to the world.
'We need to focus on the preservation of ecosystems and the wildlife contained therein...... we may not realize it but this is pushing the human race towards extinction'.
According to reports, devastated farmers are being told to photograph their dead and injured livestock for insurance claims. Apart from this, landowners are having to euthanise many heat-stressed and burned animals which survived the blazes.
The fires have burned so hot and so fast that there has been significant mortality of animals in the trees, but there is such a big area now that is still on fire and still burning that we will probably never find the bodies,” Nature Conservation Council ecologist Mark Graham told Reuters.
The forests in Australia are a living nightmare for anyone who lives in and around it. It's filled with charred bodies of koalas and dead cockatoos falling out of trees. In fact, Koalas have been among the hardest hit of Australia’s native animals, because they are slow-moving.
According to reports, a stretch of fire is continuing to burn along the eastern and southern coasts of Australia. This is where most Australian people and animals live and so far 15 million acres have burned. Australia is known to have a 'fire season', but this time it's particularly alarming and experts have attributed it to climate change.
