Future-proofing Australia
While Australia has always been a land of fire, the bushfires of 2019-20 were truly catastrophic. Over 12 million hectares of forests and woodland were burnt and many capital cities were blanketed with thick hazy smoke.
Emergency responders were pushed to the brink as they battled the blazes to help save as many lives, homes and wildlife as possible. It was a disaster that won’t be forgotten.
Before the fires started, Australia was experiencing the hottest and driest year on record. Due to ongoing drought and increased temperatures, bushfire seasons are now starting earlier than usual, lasting longer and causing more severe damage.
That’s why it’s critical that we deliver a long-term national wildlife and nature recovery plan, and future-proof Australia for the bushfire seasons ahead, so that what was lost in the recent bushfires won’t happen again.
Australia's nature laws are undergoing a once-in-10-year review. We already lost so much in the fires - will you ask your local politician to protect our wildlife and their remaining homes?
