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 3 Billion animals were killed or displaced and huge swathes of their habitat were burnt. Im nick lazaredes, and 18 months on, ive been Travelling Australia to discover how its wildlife is faring now. Theres a complete removal of resources that wildlife needs. Whether they eat leaves, flower, pollen, fungi, all those resources, the foodstuff is gone. 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 that it takes time for a natural habitat to re establish, for the wildlife to come back to it, but it will happen.

Reporter yeah, thats kind of been the white Houses Line as theyve been talking about what their Vaccine Sharing Plan is going to be, because thats obviously a jab at other countries that have tried to trade political favors for sharing vaccines, but this does come amid some questions and even some criticism of what was the actual u. S. s plan going to be. That is what World Leaders wanted to know and the White House knew that they should have expected President Biden to get pressed on that by other World Leaders as he is on his first trip abroad, and so thats why i think this timing of this announcement is certainly no coincidence with the president announcing that the u. S. Has bought and is going to donate half A Billion pfizer vaccines. Now, a lot of those are going to go out this ye
