Nationally, more than 5m hectares have been burned in an unprecedented bushfire season that has also killed nine people

YAY!
Poor koalas I hope they are in a happy place
Isn't cultural burning supposed to help prevent some of these fires?
Koalas are one of the most harmless and cute animals
This is horrific, I don,t think that Koalas will be able to survive because of the 1000,s that perished😥
we have utterly failed as wards of this planet, destruction of all life and the earth for GREEEEED, I am so very sorry to these animals for the failure of my species
For every like I get a minute alone in a room with a chainsaw and the arsonists responsible.
australia is destroying its animals and the world watches it doing nothing
I want to be a Volunteer to help to fight fire. I don’t really know who to contact & the procedure. I am a retiree but I am physically fit. From Singapore 🇸🇬
WHERE ARE THE LARGE WATER BOMBERS, SCOMO !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cockatiels

Where is the UN ?
Hundreds? Tens of thousands now !
i feel sorry for the koalas
yeah , save one Koala and kill 10 000 camel
They are building a huge railroad and it just so happens the fires go in the path of the railroad blue prints.
After Wild crazy dew cabal started fires
all human beings are doom to perish
😭😭😭😭 poor koalas
Poor little bubbas
Humans deserve to be extinct 😭😭😭😭 in the name of religion and greed we've destroyed this beautiful place
Thank you for taking these animals into your homes we worry about you all out in the fires xx
Poor animals
Chase the suburban circus clowns away yes yes yes…
This is a sad thing. Rescue as many as possible and THANK YOU !
you would think people would care wouldnt you but city people in Australia do not… they are still going ahead with New Years Eve fire works in the middle of heat waves, catastrophic fire conditions and with fire fighters still fighting the fires… now no matter what the cause it is the disrespect for those fighting the fires, those who have lost everything and those who have died… the cities dont care, it is disgusting and if they dont care about the people what makes the world think they care about the animals…
They say that Nero played the fiddle while the city burned
Australias countryside is on fire and the cities are not concerned.
The divide is greater than it’s ever been before,
as fire fighters struggle to keep away from flames that roar.
Our planet is on fire. I'm working to support Bernie Sanders and a Green New Deal to combat climate change or at least lessen its devastating effects. America needs to set the example for the world and LEAD.
I thought he was interviewing the koala in the thumbnail lol
What about reporting how australians are just leaving their livestock out in the heat with no water or food to die a long and painful death?? I will never forgive or forget. Humans caused it but the other animals pay the price.
Hate to joke about such an awful situation, but the thumbnail looks like someones holding a mic up to the koala for an interview
Back burn.
who cares about koalas when unborn human children are being sucked from their mom's wombs
Aawwww
probably
the remaining koalas should seek asylum in the uk
The poor animals is heartbreaking.
i swear koalas dont actually do much or is that pandas
NO, KOOOOAAALLAAAAASSSSSSSS PLEASE
