The Conversation covered a range of topics from 2019/20 bush fire season. This latest blog-style feature piece tells the story of the 2019/20 bush fires across Australia and the impact on our native flora and fauna. Beautifully produced with images from the recent disaster, the combination of satellite imagery, personal stories and hard facts provides a great insight into the recovery of the environment after the fires. The blog ends with images and a detailed profile of each of the 119 priority species listed by the Bushfire Recovery Expert Panel, outlining how much of their habitat was burnt, its conservation status and immediate actions needed to help conserve the species.
