Australian Forest Fires

The fires continue to spread as thousand of animals are fighting for safety.

The terrifying fires that show no sign of stopping continue to tear though Australia’s forests already killing dozens of people and destroyed almost 2,000 homes. As well as An estimated 1 billion animals, every year there is a time during summer that is referred to as fire season. It means that fires happen more frequently than normal and can spread more rapidly. Natural causes are the most common reason for this travesty. However, this is not always the case as fires can often be started accidentally and sometimes intentionally by people. We have pushed global warming to a tipping point and the results are disastrous.

Many famous celebrities have been very generous and donated to the cause, such as Kylie Jenner – she donated 1 million dollars. Selena Gomez donated a large sum of money but it was not specified she put a post-up on twitter urging Fans to do the same. Kylie Minogue also donated 500,000 dollars to the firefighting efforts. Former Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said ‘With Australia on fire and the Arctic in meltdown, it’s clear we’re in a climate emergency.’

We can not stand by and watch Australia’s beloved forest burn and do nothing, do not just stand by raise awareness, donate. The earth is our home shouldn’t we all help save it?
