Bushfires in Australia
Bushfires are a part of Australia, over millions of years they have shaped the landscape to what it is today. Eucalyptus forests thrive on bushfires and some of Australia’s flora has evolved and relied on bushfires for reproduction. They create new life by dropping seeds. A cycle of fire, rain and recovery, an occurrence that is well-known in Australia - the fire continent.
However, the 2019/2020 bushfires were devastating for communities of Australia and the wildlife. It is evident these fires were more intense than in previous years. Yet due to the large size of the country, 98.5% of the land was untouched by the fires. And the other 1.5% started the regeneration process, just weeks after the fires occurred.
