yeh most of us in Australia are happy for most of our wildlife to share our backyards with us & put out water & plant plants specifically to make them feel welcome, that includes not just koalas, but also the possums, biirds & reptiles, Part of the problem with bushfires can be their ability to spread through the "bush corridors" we have to allow native animals to freely move around in suburbia to share our land with us instead of evicting them & many native animals here actually do much better in suburbia than national parks. Koalas are not one of those, but plenty are :) blue tounge lizards & brush turkeys are 2 great examples of animals that thrive in suburban areas over bush, all the parrots too, since they're too adorable, so people can't resist feeding them & encouraging more of them to live with them
I'm an ecology student. Even with climate change, this would NEVER have happened if it wasn't for the policy of fire prevention over prescribed burning and fire management. The Aboriginals burned the land for thousands of years, they kept it healthy by setting small contained fires. This prevented brush and tinder from building up to a level high enough to enable a dangerously large fire. The same exact practice was done by the native peoples of the United States. When the Europeans came to these places, they enacted fire prevention, because that's what the climate of Europe is suitable for. They didn't understand that that doesn't work for these new environments, where fire is healthy and necessary to sustain the plants and animals that live there. The California wildfires are also a great example of this. Those people's homes should have NEVER been built in those areas, it's like building in a flood plain. Those areas need to be burned regularly. The only way to keep them from burning is to remove all fire adapted trees. Climate change is only going to amplify this problem wildly. That's all. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. 😑
Rasputin Russia’s Greatest Love Machine the climate has always changed tho!!! The earth has always gotten warmer! They don’t deny it’s real but it has always occurred. Where are all the wholly mammoths and Sabre tooth tigers? Extinct from global warming which happened naturally without human intervention.
What’s scary is that half of America (pretty much all Trump supporters) don’t believe in man-made climate change no matter how much evidence is presented to them. Same can be said for many conservative governments around the world as well.
@@kylemutti2992 Also, weren't humans the ones to over hunt Mammoth's back in the day due to our overly efficient hunting techniques that drove them to extinction?
I can’t watch this because it’s so upsetting. But know that I have donated to the wildlife service WIRES AUSTRALIA and the RSPCA BUSHFIRE APPEAL and I encourage others to do so.
@Ricardo S you have to pick and choose. I understand what you're saying, but donations to a situation like this, you can feel confident that the majority of your gift WILL go to ending this tragedy as quickly as possible! Combating stuff like this is life threatening, time consuming, VERY expensive, and requires a ton of man hours and effort every single day until it gets close to controlled! The sooner the better cause like he said, a lot of wildlife can't do anything to avoid these fires, they are literally being surrounded and trapped. Its unbelievably difficult to think of.
Sensitive deluded toss head everytime something goes wrong you lay on the floor praying? Look where that got us during mass genocides for example, no where
The liberal government (conservatives in Australia) would like to kindly remind you that these koalas' deaths, while tragic, probably raised profits some multinational corporations for a while, and that ain't bad. (Yes that's sarcasm)
Announcement from the Australian government: "Now we can sell a buch of charcoal next to our coal" Murdoch press: "Morrison creates new jobs and saves Australian economy"
planting trees to fuel more fires & btw he was planting them at around 5000 trees per hectare, so with 5 million hectares burnt in Australia, how many trees is that planted in the end? minus what?
I would like to thank each and every person who helped during this crisis and also to those people who are still helping someway somewhere. We need to help these creatures.
Being an Australian in Victoria at the moment only about 2 hour drive away from some of the big fires it’s pretty worrying our quality of air is very poor the temperature it’s always very hot we do our best to go to and help out by spreading awareness and raising money in our own communities to donate in others. A lot of people talk about how there are impacts now but looking back from previous fires it takes years and years to repair the damage that happens from these fires. Do every bit that you can do for the people, communities and animals that have lost what they have.
1 billion. I just can't process it. So many wonderful animals, just gone. Maybe if the governments were less concerned about their country being most powerful war-wise, then they might be able to help.
The koala will not go extinct because of the fires . There are populations that are unaffected by the fires . They will recover . It's been happening in Australia since before Whiteman .
It's so sad and so irritating to me that when Notre Dame in France burned millionaires all over the world would donate money so that it could be rebuild. But now a whole *continent* is burning and a lot of those same millionaires do nothing.
@@gayguysthatscubadive Unfortunately, since we can't be bothered paying for our own retirement, we need to have more children constantly to offset it. Look at Japan, which has an 'ageing population'. That's what happens with a one-child policy.
Every single one of you can help!!! You don't need to pay no charity. Simply eat less meat and slowly throw it out of your menu. Drive less, fly less and be more efficient. Your EVERY action has an impact on your sorroundings and you always have to have that in mind!
Australian here, here's a few noteworthy things on the bushfires you can do to help: If you are visiting or plan to visit, help the fire impacted areas by supporting the local business. It's going to be a long recovery period for all these townfolks. They are going to need every bit of *financial* and *structural* support they can get. Buy their stuff, help with the rebuilding efforts. These small towns rely on seasonal tourism and agriculture to support their community. If you feel charitable, donate to all big and smaller native animal rescues organisations. Don't just focus on what's mentioned on the news, do your research. RSPCA is mostly responsible for domesticated animals around Australia. There isn't a *national wide* native animal rescue organisation, most are state or regional NGOs. (I wish we did, but there isn't enough funding for what they do.) Do pardon our poor excuse state of wellbeing. We ignored the warning signs until it buried us like the people of Pompeii. Don't be like a Scomo, be someone who pays attention and care for their country.
Dont worry about the earth! The Technologies that humans will create in the future will make humanity and the earth clean prosperous and safe! Human beings come first and then everything else do you understand!!
This isn't the attitude for this situation. You can't change the world by a snap of finger(o.w we would not had any problems like global warming and and other pollution problems in the first place). You have to raise awareness. Remind/educate people again n again and then only you can change something which is important.. many people don't have enough sensitivity for such issue. we need to teach kids and everyone why this thing's are important.
Most people do care but have no idea how to fix it. Legally the options are slow and probably won't be enough. Illegally... well... hopefully someone stops corporations and governments that are making the world worse.
@@jocelyn9744 well also the fact that annual hazard reduction burns have been reduced therefore increasing the magnitude of this season's bushfires. But everyone ignores this fact.
The bulk of population decrease in Australia is due to deforestation for pastoral use on the East Coast, then there is the mindless urban sprawl. The irony is so many people surprised by native animal decline are living in once thriving koala habitat which was bulldozed for their charming house and lawn package in the burbs...
We'd also have those if we got rain. Here it is either drought or flooding somewhere, we get fires and cyclones each summer, and even get the occasional earthquake.
Most of world’s greediest forest have been killed foreg: India : all forests were cut and British made 97 trillion $ . around 1600s - 1947 they looted India and it’s just an estimate .

India was 25% of the worlds economy but now it’s 2.5% now imagine how much money it could be Amazon forest : burnt Australian forest : burnt Africa : doesnt affect as Africa have hot climate
@@FortuitusVideo the British caused he displacement numerous Indian tribes because they wanted wood to build their traintracks, they took all of India's treasure away and left them in poverty
Bushfires are a normal part of a functional ecosystem. But so is rain, and at some point, too much rain becomes a hurricane. Calling this a bushfire is an understatement. This is an inferno. This is catastrophic on a scale never seen before in Australia’s history. People need to know that what Australia is dealing with is different, its so much worse.
You know, 150 BILLION, yes BILLION, animals are slaughtered every year so you can eat cheap meat every single day. But hey, who cares, right. For most people, the lifes of animals have no value. When you watch world ending disaster movies, doesn't matter which one, they'll tell you that there are 7 billion lifes on the planet. Always completely ignoring that humans are not the only ones living here and that there are trillions of other lifeforms threatened as well.

@@kylemutti2992 Not at this rate though, that is the difference!! The ecosystem can't adapt in time, go look up insect populations
@@kylemutti2992 Also, weren't humans the ones to over hunt Mammoth's back in the day due to our overly efficient hunting techniques that drove them to extinction?
Koalas dont need to Go extinct!
:(
Koalas are adorable and even if they werent i dont want any animal to go extinct from this!
DA MotoNeko then you have dinosaurs

I can’t watch this because it’s so upsetting.
But know that I have donated to the wildlife service WIRES AUSTRALIA and the RSPCA BUSHFIRE APPEAL and I encourage others to do so.
@Ricardo S you have to pick and choose. I understand what you're saying, but donations to a situation like this, you can feel confident that the majority of your gift WILL go to ending this tragedy as quickly as possible! Combating stuff like this is life threatening, time consuming, VERY expensive, and requires a ton of man hours and effort every single day until it gets close to controlled! The sooner the better cause like he said, a lot of wildlife can't do anything to avoid these fires, they are literally being surrounded and trapped. Its unbelievably difficult to think of.
@Ricardo S sorry, but by law, it's impossible for a non profit to become a 'business' like you said. The RSPCA is ultimately controlled by the Queen.
I'M CRYING FOR ALL THOSE ANIMALS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES....GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA....GOD BLESS THE EARTH.
God Bless Iron Man.
god bless the fire nation
Sensitive deluded toss head everytime something goes wrong you lay on the floor praying? Look where that got us during mass genocides for example, no where
The liberal government (conservatives in Australia) would like to kindly remind you that these koalas' deaths, while tragic, probably raised profits some multinational corporations for a while, and that ain't bad.
(Yes that's sarcasm)
Announcement from the Australian government: "Now we can sell a buch of charcoal next to our coal"

Where is Mr. Beast when you needed him?
Lol
he's planting trees
Why does he have to do all the work
planting trees to fuel more fires
& btw he was planting them at around 5000 trees per hectare, so with 5 million hectares burnt in Australia, how many trees is that planted in the end? minus what?
@@lilaclizard4504 waw 5 million hectares... just... I'm so shocked
Feel like they kinda cut him off at the end there...
I would like to thank each and every person who helped during this crisis and also to those people who are still helping someway somewhere. We need to help these creatures.
Being an Australian in Victoria at the moment only about 2 hour drive away from some of the big fires it’s pretty worrying our quality of air is very poor the temperature it’s always very hot we do our best to go to and help out by spreading awareness and raising money in our own communities to donate in others. A lot of people talk about how there are impacts now but looking back from previous fires it takes years and years to repair the damage that happens from these fires. Do every bit that you can do for the people, communities and animals that have lost what they have.
Koalas: *exists (cutely)*
Humans: hold my beer
@Jean Louw how original.
Not the time for jokes please thank you
We love y'all Australia! 💔
Thanks mate
1 billion. I just can't process it. So many wonderful animals, just gone.
Maybe if the governments were less concerned about their country being most powerful war-wise, then they might be able to help.
australia is not a military focused nation, we focus more on economy, environment and the peoples wellbeing
@@thedarkwolf._.3135 Then stop building things and start planting trees once this is all over
@@thedarkwolf._.3135 I was focusing more on countries like the US who aren't experiencing it but could help.
the first thing i thought was "please lets save all the koalas"
The koala will not go extinct because of the fires . There are populations that are unaffected by the fires . They will recover . It's been happening in Australia since before Whiteman .
It's so sad and so irritating to me that when Notre Dame in France burned millionaires all over the world would donate money so that it could be rebuild. But now a whole *continent* is burning and a lot of those same millionaires do nothing.
Pink donated half a million of her own money & numerous others have done similar, as well as using their profile to obtain further donations
I wouldnt have been this sad if humans went extinct
@@username-1122 agreed
@Abhirup Chattopadyay agreed, humans think they are so superior, but all we do is destroy.
Imagine if earth never had evil humans on it. It would be the most amazing Planet ever with amazing life and beauty. Humans are cancer to all life
Well yeah cause you'd be dead
Really? I never thought about that...
Meanwhile: the human population has increased to 8 Billion and there are now more people than jobs.
This is why I don’t have a problem with homicide
And it will get worse as people continuously breed human litters.
@@borntofart Kind of sad that you liked your own comment and no one replied to you😂🤣
I hate couples that have more than 2 kids the globe needs to adopt china's one child policy.
@@gayguysthatscubadive Unfortunately, since we can't be bothered paying for our own retirement, we need to have more children constantly to offset it. Look at Japan, which has an 'ageing population'. That's what happens with a one-child policy.
Every single one of you can help!!! You don't need to pay no charity. Simply eat less meat and slowly throw it out of your menu. Drive less, fly less and be more efficient. Your EVERY action has an impact on your sorroundings and you always have to have that in mind!
Please get this trending!
Thank Coal-fondler-in-chief ScoMo for worsening the situation.
Thank you for bringing awareness to this horrendous issue facing our country. 🇦🇺❤️
Australian here, here's a few noteworthy things on the bushfires you can do to help:
If you are visiting or plan to visit, help the fire impacted areas by supporting the local business. It's going to be a long recovery period for all these townfolks.
They are going to need every bit of *financial* and *structural* support they can get. Buy their stuff, help with the rebuilding efforts.
These small towns rely on seasonal tourism and agriculture to support their community.
If you feel charitable, donate to all big and smaller native animal rescues organisations. Don't just focus on what's mentioned on the news, do your research.
RSPCA is mostly responsible for domesticated animals around Australia. There isn't a *national wide* native animal rescue organisation, most are state or regional NGOs.
(I wish we did, but there isn't enough funding for what they do.)
Do pardon our poor excuse state of wellbeing. We ignored the warning signs until it buried us like the people of Pompeii.
Don't be like a Scomo, be someone who pays attention and care for their country.
1 Billion??? That number is unbelievable. 😞😞😞
the moment human care more about animal than human
here go humans acting like they care about earth again
Ok boomer
Dont worry about the earth! The Technologies that humans will create in the future will make humanity and the earth clean prosperous and safe! Human beings come first and then everything else do you understand!!
This isn't the attitude for this situation. You can't change the world by a snap of finger(o.w we would not had any problems like global warming and and other pollution problems in the first place). You have to raise awareness. Remind/educate people again n again and then only you can change something which is important.. many people don't have enough sensitivity for such issue. we need to teach kids and everyone why this thing's are important.
Most people do care but have no idea how to fix it. Legally the options are slow and probably won't be enough. Illegally... well... hopefully someone stops corporations and governments that are making the world worse.
El Greco no

Multifansurfer x Climate change is not real tho
This isn’t nature, this is the result of humans.
@@jocelyn9744 well also the fact that annual hazard reduction burns have been reduced therefore increasing the magnitude of this season's bushfires. But everyone ignores this fact.
Thanks for covering this.
Koalas going extinct isn't very surprising when you look at their biology. It's nothing short of a MIRACLE that they survived as long as they did
This fire made me realise how important koalas are
Black Jesus they play an important part in helping maintain the ecosystem health of the environment
Black Jesus or you can try searching it up on google, they sure got stuff for you.
Issues like this need to replace war !
Humanity doesn't need war hero's
Shouldn't the description say these fires have been THE worst on record in Australia, and not one of the worst?
Ikr
1979 was the worst. NO ONE WAS TALKING ABOUT IT
1. Go to social media , your schools , city centers
2. spread the word
3. even if you cant help much people who hear about it might
I’ve seriously thought about this and makes me so scared. We need to do whatever we can to help. We can’t let the marsupials go extinct
"Australia Bushfire getting Worst"
The Native people of Australia in 6300BCE: *First Time?*
“Australia has bulldozed half of their forests”
So you’re saying the fires would have been twice as bad otherwise?
I think we should reduce our own people.
I agree with you. You should start first?
Resolvelution Tension go tell black people, Latino and people in the Middle East to stop having 100000 kids per family
alek so you are a supremacist?
That is already happening everyday, are you blind?
Well that needs to happen period. I imagine strict control of how many children you can have is the best way.
Breaks my heart !😔
The bulk of population decrease in Australia is due to deforestation for pastoral use on the East Coast, then there is the mindless urban sprawl. The irony is so many people surprised by native animal decline are living in once thriving koala habitat which was bulldozed for their charming house and lawn package in the burbs...
Now it's really hard to think of an animal that is not extinct 🥺
Bruh
So sad ! I love kolas !
**climate change happens**

@@alek488 Bruh, it can be caused by flood
We'd also have those if we got rain. Here it is either drought or flooding somewhere, we get fires and cyclones each summer, and even get the occasional earthquake.
Literally when Australia caught fire, I was extremely worried about the wildlife, I hope theyll make this out of it ok soon.
the drought is actually of more threat to species extinctions than the fires are, that's what you should be worried about!

Most of world’s greediest forest have been killed foreg:
India : all forests were cut and British made 97 trillion $ . around 1600s - 1947 they looted India and it’s just an estimate . And you can imagine that money in these days . India was 25% of the worlds economy but now it’s 2.5% now imagine how much money it could be
Amazon forest : burnt
Australian forest : burnt
Africa : doesnt affect as Africa have hot climate
How dare the rest of the world develop economically! We should all implode so India can go back to being the ONLY place that makes textiles.

Susan McSusanSon or you could participate in activism before the reversible becomes irreversible
Short answer,
*Yes.*
Bushfires are a normal part of a functional ecosystem. But so is rain, and at some point, too much rain becomes a hurricane. Calling this a bushfire is an understatement. This is an inferno. This is catastrophic on a scale never seen before in Australia’s history. People need to know that what Australia is dealing with is different, its so much worse.

Inie d seriously. We’ve GOT to do better.
Humans will go extinct when the Earth is no longer able to be saved

That's entire population of China or India😢
You know, 150 BILLION, yes BILLION, animals are slaughtered every year so you can eat cheap meat every single day. But hey, who cares, right.
For most people, the lifes of animals have no value.
When you watch world ending disaster movies, doesn't matter which one, they'll tell you that there are 7 billion lifes on the planet. Always completely ignoring that humans are not the only ones living here and that there are trillions of other lifeforms threatened as well.

I would love for 2020 to be the year when we finally see animals for what they are: Refugees of our war against nature
We would just build walls to keep them out. Refugee has become a derogatory word over time.

Koalas are such lovely animals. They need all the help they can get these days.
