The bushfires, which have been raging since September, have consumed over 14.8 million acres, killed at least 23 people and have left thousands of people homeless. The regions of New South Wales and Victoria have been most affected, and entire towns have been destroyed as the result of the fires.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over 8,000 koalas, nearly one-third of the species in the area, are also believed to have been killed<\/a> in the fires.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe effects of the catastrophic fires have been so far-reaching that allowing further loss of habitat and impact on native species would be unconscionable,\u201d Stand Up for Nature, a local collective of environmental organizations, wrote in a letter to New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian.<\/span><\/p>\n
