Care for non-human animals during and after the 2019/2020 “Black Summer” bushfires in Australia

"In fighting these fires, authorities focused almost entirely on protecting human lives and property...The role of rescuing and caring for domesticated and wild animals fell almost entirely to community groups and individual carers, who stepped up to fill the gap at significant cost to themselves – financially, emotionally and sometimes even at a risk to their safety.The standard view in Australia is that only humans matter in the face of bushfires. While some guidance on disaster preparation talks about how to protect pets such as cats and dogs, wildlife carers, farmers and horse owners often found themselves facing incoming fires with little or no information or support."

"The record set in 2023 was not surprising: “Every year for the rest of your life will be one of the hottest [on] record. This in turn means that 2023 will end up being one of the coldest years of this century. Enjoy it while it lasts.”

Rising populations in regions susceptible to climate perils

"Australia must “tell a better risk management story” by coordinating efforts at all levels of government to improve land-use planning and building codes, or insurance costs would rise further." The chief executive of the Insurance Council of Australia

Those companies have been watching Australia’s actions closely. Australia got “marked up” when it talked about acting on the climate crisis or mitigating exposure to evolving perils but “when we approve a new development in a floodplain, it just undoes all of that, and they go ‘you guys just don’t get it’."

Bushfires "protect life and property" - and biodiversity?

"Wildlife rescuers warn of 'catastrophe' as key groups omitted from national disaster summit."

"An estimated three billion native animals died or were displaced during the 2019–20 Black Summer bushfire...We were walking on ashes of animals. We found bones everywhere. We found a koala hanging from a tree, burnt, a skeleton."

"In the aftermath, the inquiry recommended that wildlife rescue be better integrated with overall emergency response."

"Wildlife rescue organisations in New South Wales warn a new disaster response plan hasn't been completed almost four years after the Black Summer bushfires, leaving native animals at risk as summer approaches."
