(.#A.081).- 113 animal species at risk of extinction, forest fires, Australia.
113 species are at risk of extinction since the forest fires.
Australia has identified 113 animal species in need of "urgent help" after their populations and habitats have been destroyed by fire.
Since September 2019, unprecedented fires have razed more than 27 million acres of land, resulting in the deaths of at least 1 billion animals. In January 2020, the Australian government pledged 50 million Australian dollars for the restoration of wildlife and habitat. This money will be spent on care, food and pest management programs.
Kangaroo Island marsupial mouse: It is endemic to the region (exists exclusively in a defined geographical area). It has lost 95% of its territory.
Blue Mountain Water Skink: It is a medium-sized lizard that can weigh up to 10 g. Adults have a maximum total length of about 200 mm. (Species which lost at least 30% of its habitat).
Wallaby of Parma: It has never been on the endangered species list before. (Species which lost at least 30% of its habitat).
Shiny black thingyatoo: Kangaroo Island subspecies. (Species which lost at least 30% of its habitat).
