Following the Australian bush fire beginning of 2020, 34 people lost their lives as well as many homes and properties in this bush fire and a vast number of wild and domestic animals. Climate change that was driven by unequalled scorching summer together with a prolonged drought rages into catastrophic fires in the eastern of Australia.
