Australia is being ravaged by the worst wildfires in decades. The wildfires in Australia have burned a massive expanse of land. The fires have been fueled by drought and extreme heat. The bushfires have burned across the country since September, killing 28 people and destroying more than 1,000 homes. Nearly a billion animals have perished, and hundreds of homes and habitats have been destroyed.
This is how much has been consumed by the wildfires in Australia in comparison to the area.
Australia’s deadly wildfires are showing no signs of stopping and even though large ravishing fires continue to take over the country Australian police belief to have reason to accuse 24 people of deliberately setting bushfires.
