SYDNEY, Dec 7 (NNN-AGENCIES) – The animals impacted by Australia’s “black summer” blazes, included over 60,000 koalas, according to a report released today.
The report was commissioned by environmental group, World Wide Fund for Nature Australia (WWF-Australia), recounting the devastating losses of habitats across the country.
Dermot O’Gorman, CEO of WWF-Australia, said, the report shows that the fires are “one of the worst wildlife disasters in modern history.”
He added that the total number of affected animals can be estimated at nearly three billion, including mammals, birds and reptiles.
