Australia's forests are burning.
More than 17 million acres have burned in Australia over the last three months amid record heat that has dried vegetation and pulled moisture from the land. Hundreds of millions of animals, including a large number of koalas, are believed to have perished in the infernos.

Which areas seem most affected.
The bush fires have had a devastating impact on Australia’s wildlife. Nearly 90% of the country’s species cannot be found anywhere else on Earth, and the fires may have killed millions of animals. Areas where species such as the koala and long-footed potoroo live are being wiped out. Few places are left for these animals to take shelter.
Animal-rescue teams have landed on Kangaroo Island, in South Australia. Ecologist Heidi Groffen thinks some of the island’s 300 mouselike dunnarts may have found safety in rock crevices. “We’re hoping to bring some into captivity before they are completely gone,” she says.
