Australian Fires

Australian bushfires are one of the most renowned problems in 2020. As we know, Australia has been burning since 2019, firefighters are fighting and surviving this inferno. More than 1 thousand homes have been destroyed, and the Australian sky is covered by smoke and ashes. It all started as a consequence of fires season because the land was suffering a drought


The city of Sydney is surrounded by a vast fire. In all Australia the levels of toxins are worryingly high. In the southeast of Australia more than 4000 people were trapped by fire which was out of control, so they had to program an exercise to evacuate as soon as possible in order to not get injured. 

This is a clear example of the consequences of global warming. This problem was not a big deal some years ago. Unfortunately, we have not shown any interest in this problematic. Now, everything is out of control.

 Vast fires have consumed over a billion hectares worth millions of dollars in Australia. Animals that inhaled the toxic and now contaminated air in Australia are on the verge of extinction. 





However, not everything is bad, the authorities said that the rain is going to ease these horrific bushfires,to  finally extinguish them.

 Australia is passing by frail moments, so we hope to help them as much as we can with what we have.
