UN REPORT: FIRES ARE GOING TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN
The Black Summer bushfires killed 3 billion animals and trillions of invertebrates. - THE GUARDIAN
Smoke from Australian bushfires depleted the ozone layer by up to 5% in 2020, a study finds. - THE GUARDIAN
An article published March 30, 2022 by Eos, written by Meghie Rodrigues states:
"From Australia to Chile and all the way to Greece and Portugal, wildfires have put the international community on alert in recent years. Some fires have reached unprecedented proportions, like the fires that raged in California in 2021, burning more than a million hectares."
The article goes on to state:
"A new report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) warns these fires are going to happen more often as a result of anthropogenic climate change and other human activities.
According to the report, wildfires may increase globally by 14% by the end of this decade and 50% by 2100 if no preventive actions are taken.
Even places where fires are generally not expected to occur naturally, such as the Arctic and tropical forests, are at increased risk."
UN REPORT: PREVENTION & MITIGATION CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
To repeat, a report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) warns fires are going to happen more often...
The GOOD NEWS is the UN report also offered a solution.
"We cannot change the world’s topography, but land management actions can go a long way."
"Prevention and mitigation can make a difference."
With your continued help that is EXACTLY what Save Our Woodlands is doing.
Save Our Woodlands. was established to pay landholders, in perpetuity, to conserve, enhance and re-establish native woodlands on THEIR land, and to manage these woodlands, so they are preserved for generations to come.
YOU can help us prevent even more of our precious woodlands from being cleared for development, to instead be protected as a sanctuary for woodland species.
YOU can also help us rid NSW woodlands of the invasive weeds that are choking out native plants required by endangered species.
YOU can help us provide "pathways", and access routes for firefighters so that we don't lose any more NSW woodlands to bushfires.
When it comes to fire and koalas...
The iconic marsupials move slowly, and their only defence against fire is climbing higher into the eucalyptus trees where they make their homes.
Packed with oil, these trees detonate in spectacular explosions during extreme wildfires.
Koalas are not at risk of extinction as a result of recent fires because they have such a broad range. They have, nonetheless, been hit particularly hard.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Join the conversation on our social media accounts.Save Our Woodlands is an environmentally conscious group of volunteers dedicated to preserving threatened birds, animals and ecosystems in the woodlands of New South Wales, Australia. Only 15% of...
People tend to think that woodlands are “just bush,” consequently, over 85% of the native woodlands in New South Wales, Australia have been replaced by agriculture.
We hope our supporters will pledge to donate $10 per month to help us continue to protect critical habitats and by doing so prevent further species from extinction.
Our work is only possible with your support.
