Which countries are affected by the latest fire situation in Kangaroo Island, Australia?

I believe everyone knows that the fires in Australia have been going on for a long time, and the damage is not over yet. We feel sorry for the animals in the mountains and regret the destruction of the natural environment, and it is not suitable for everyone to travel here at the moment. The editor will tell you the latest fire information on Kangaroo Island today!

The latest fire situation on Australia's Kangaroo Island

According to the British "Daily Mail" report on January 9, 2020, 17 hectares of forest on Kangaroo Island have been burned. Looking around, the once lush forest has been blackened and turned into charcoal. The charred forest is littered with charred animal carcasses.

Satellite images taken by NASA reveal the reality of bushfires that caused Kangaroo Island. A set of comparison pictures makes people intuitively feel the pain of Kangaroo Island.

In the past, Kangaroo Island was full of green. Now, in the same place, thick smoke is billowing, the green trees have turned into charred wood, and everything is devastated.

Only through the winding roads of Chase National Park in Flinders can you appreciate the brutality of the ferocious fires. The once lush road is now reduced to blackened branches and charred animal carcasses.

After the fire got out of control, two emergency warnings were issued on Kangaroo Island. At present, 25,000 koalas have been burned to death on the island, while the number of kangaroo casualties has not yet been fully counted. There were previously 120 soldiers on the island, and this will grow to 600 in the coming days.

Soldiers on the island are busy putting out fires, rescuing wild animals, helping farmers dispose of dead livestock, and repairing roads blocked by fires. The island's famous resort hotel is now a smoking ruin.

Previously, Chris, a science professor at the University of Sydney, said that about 480 million wild animals died in New South Wales. But according to a report in the British Daily Mail on January 8, Chris has changed this number to 800 million. He estimates that around 1 billion animals have died in Australia.

Which countries are affected?

The fire has been burning continuously for more than 4 months. Nearly 6 million hectares of land were burning as seen from space, and in less than a week a strong wind carrying thick smoke drifted over South America.

In addition to South America, New Zealand also experienced terrible haze weather. The haze has spread across the Tasman Sea, affecting glaciers in New Zealand's South Island. In Santiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, air quality plummeted due to smog.

Experts from the EU's Copernicus project said the fire, which could not be extinguished within four months, had emitted 400 megatons of carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere.

I hope this fire will be extinguished soon, these poor animals will be safe soon, and the environment will be restored soon!
