Čo všetko sa udialo a deje v Austrálii posledných pár mesiacov? Tu je stručná sumarizácia

Na juhovýchodnom pobreží Austrálie už druhý mesiac horia lesy, ľudia strácajú svoje domovy a zvieratá umierajú. Obyvatelia krajiny a zvyšku sveta im pomáhajú v maximálnej možnej miere – darujú peniaze, jedlo, oblečenie a poskytujú útočisko vyčerpaným hasičom a dobrovoľníkom. Poďme si ale zosumarizovať, čo všetko sa za približne polrok v krajine udialo a stále deje.

1. Sucho a takmer 50-stupňové teploty, ktoré panujú od decembra viedli k požiarom, ktoré sú viditeľné aj z vesmíru. Doposiaľ vyhorelo 8 miliónov hektárov pôdy, pričom plamene dosahujú výšku aj 70 metrov.

2. Podľa ochrancov prírody zomrela viac ako 1 miliarda cicavcov, vtákov a plazov.

3. Populácia koál je momentálne vážne ohrozená.

Australia’s devastating bushfires have brought out the best in people. There have been incredible acts of altruism, compassion and selflessness. Our hearts go out to all the families and communities affected, as well as the firefighters and wildlife carers working tirelessly during this challenging time. Unfortunately, it’s not over yet. Only by continuing to work together can we get through such a significant crisis. #ausfires #bushfiresaustralia #nswfires #vicfires #kangaroos #koalas #kookaburras #australia #australiaburns #bushfires #globalwarming #climatecrisis #climatechange #thehouseisonfire
