According to the latest reports, over 130 fires are burning across New South Wales and Victoria, destroying millions of acres of land.
Thousands have been forced to flee their homes, and it’s believed at least 17 people have been killed, with many others still unaccounted for.
According to ecologists from the University of Sydney, an estimated 480 million mammals, birds and reptiles have been killed in the fires since September.
