10 Photos Of Then And Now Showing The Massive Effect Of The Fire In Australia
It is no news that the fire raging in Australia since 2019 is not going down soon despite all the efforts put in place by the government.
The flames which have been consuming Australia for months, have razed homes and wiped out entire towns. Since the start of the 2019 fire season, a staggering 10 million hectares have been burned across the country. For comparison, the California fires of 2018 claimed about 800,000 hectares, you can see the massive destruction this fire has caused.
About half a billion animals have suffered from the blaze in the New South Wales state alone, with millions potentially dead, according to ecologists at the University of Sydney. These numbers include birds, reptiles, and mammals, except bats. Insects and frogs are also excluded from the list, meaning the true number is much higher.
The fire in this region has caused a lot of damage in terms of roads, nature, business to the residents and citizens of this country. AutoReportNG decided to look at the 21 before and after photos which the fire destroyed. These places include roads, tourist sites, businesses, beaches among others.
