AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRES: a quick update
727A response to messages I've received about the Australian Bushfires. An update on the fires here in Australia, the bushfire smoke we're getting, the lives that have been lost, the massive wildlife losses, and what we can do as a community to help. I talk about how you can help with raising funds for people and animals who desperately need help in the aftermath of the tragic bushfires.
These horrific fires have claimed many human lives, but we've also lost half a billion animals in them as well. One-third of our entire koala population has been said to have been lost already. Entire towns have been wiped out, and the fires are still burning.

And thank you again for all the messages of support. I've been very touched by your compassion and concern for me, my family, and my fellow Australians at this time.
