In 2020, we witnessed firsthand the effects of climate change, as seen in the devastating wildfires that swept through parts of the world. In California alone, 8,100 wildfires ravaged the landscape, killing more than 30 people this year.
In areas of Australia, massive swaths of habitat were destroyed, killing more than 5,000 koalas and leading scientists to predict that the animals could be extinct by 2050 if the trend continues. According to reports, the Amazon rainforest in Brazil suffered the worst fires in a decade, and jaguars were found wandering and starving, their lungs black and paws burned to the bone.
