[...] Frequently burned areas are prone to desertification. Thus, ecosystem degradation can be irreversible. Transition : So this impact on the Australian flora will also have an impact on the fauna with serious consequences II. Impact on fauna. Indeed, wild animals were also affected by this environmental disaster. More than 1 billion animals living in Australia suffered from the fires, such as koalas, kangaroos, birds, frogs, insects, etc . I'm sure you've seen the video of a woman saving a koala from the flames. [...]

[...] Faced with this disaster, we are going to see what the impacts and consequences are on the Australian flora and fauna. I. Impact on flora. First of all, Australia is experiencing serious problems of extinction in plant varieties. This is due to a very dry climate and high temperatures. The heat in Australia can reach up to 49 degrees and is largely caused by global warming. Global warming has a devastating impact on the Australian continent because it causes the forests to dry up and make them more flammable. [...]

[...] These fires are a real threat to Australia's unique biodiversity. For example, in Nightcap National Park, more than 30 rare tree species have been severely threatened by the fires. To deal with these devastating fires, fire-fighting missions have been set up. For example, an environmental protection mission saved the only natural pine forest in Wollemi National Park. An irrigation system was introduced to increase the moisture content of the soil. This allowed the species to survive this summer's fires. But these fires have had serious consequences. [...]

On the other hand, people started sewing pouches for the baby kangaroos. Indeed, the fires that ravaged Kangaroo Island over a third of its surface area have led to the disappearance of many kangaroos, leaving a lot of baby kangaroos without parents. The pouches are made to simulate what the mother's pouch would be like in the wild. People also made nests and blankets to help bats, birds, koalas, and other animals affected by the fires in Australia. [...]

[...] It shows how much Australian people felt concerned about the situation and searched for weeks for some survivals. But the animals who survived the fires were injured and had to be taken care of by rescue centers to provide them the care they needed, such as the “Koala Hospital”. In spite of these efforts, a third of the koalas in New South Wales died. However, some animals, such as koalas and kangaroos, found refuge in wombats' burrows, in order to escape the bushfires. [...]
