More than 250 million metric tonnes of CO2 (half our annual output) have been emitted as a result of these fires, making the air in places like Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra hazardous for human health. Let alone the catastrophic effects on our planet the environment.
The travel industry is a close knit one, both in Australia and around the world. In light of the tragic events across Australia with the bushfire crisis, the teams at Élysée Collective and World Resorts of Distinction have launched Australian Spirit Soars.

In WIRES history they have never seen a concurrent series of emergencies events like those that began in November. Hundreds of fires over weeks have burnt over 4.9 million hectares of land in NSW alone. Many animals were already struggling with a lack of water and food due to the drought. With the fires destroying unprecedented amounts of habitat, food shortages have increased and lack of suitable habitat will be a significant long-term challenge for surviving wildlife.
It is impossible to know how many animals have perished and it will be many months before the impact on wild populations can be better understood but ecologists at Sydney University have estimated over 800 million animals have been affected in NSW and over 1 billion animals in Australia since September.
Summer is a frantically busy time for wildlife rescue and there are still over 100 fires burning in NSW. In December alone there were over 20,000 calls to WIRES 1300 line, a 14% increase on last year, and volunteers attended over 3,300 rescues. | | | | | For more information or to view featured iteams, go to | | | | For any enquiries, please email
