- Australia’s bushfires have razed more than 10.3 million hectares of land - the size of South Korea - in recent months, particularly on the east coast.
The burnt area in New South Wales state alone is more than five times larger than the whole expanse torched last year in Brazil, which saw major fires in the Amazon rainforest. Victoria state has seen the worst fires of the past week. Navy warships and military aircraft have been used to evacuate hundreds trapped along the coast, as national parks were decimated.
Australia’s fires have differed from other catastrophic blazes around the world in 2019, as a selection of its forest species, such as eucalyptus, actually rely on fire to regenerate.There are currently eight active fires in New South Wales and Victoria bigger than the largest blaze on record in California, the U.S. state well known for its deadly wildfires.
