The main factor to blame is how wealth is distributed unequally. In 2020 Australia had gone up in flames. The enormous scale and intensity signified an undeniable new phase in our global climate crisis. It was unfortunately a catastrophic time for Australia's wildlife. Various animal cultures were lost.
