Suffered its most intense Bushfire Season on record. 18 months on, Nick Lazaredes travels to some of the areas hardest hit. It just exploded. Like, a whole mountainjust exploded in five seconds. Ive never seen anything like it. Australians know it as black summer. The months in late 2019 and early 2020 when the Country Saw its most intense Bushfire Season on record. Up to Three Billion animals were killed or displaced, and huge swathes of their habitat were burnt. Im Nick Lazaredes, and 18 months on, ive been travelling across australia to discover how its wildlife is faring now. Theres a complete removal of resources that wildlife needs. Whether they eat leaves, flowers, pollen, fungi all those resources, the foodstuff of the wildlife, is gone. But From The Ashes of catastrophe, there are also signs of hope and new beginnings for some of australias most iconic animals. Yes, there were some casualties, but there was no species lost, and that is important. And people have to realise it
