20.01.2022 The fires in Australia have taken an incredible toll on biodiversity: forests, farmland, millions of animals, including over 10 million livestock, and several plant species being destroyed.

It will take a long time to rebuild the ecosystem and the lives of small farmers and indigenous communities.
