The wildfires currently sweeping across large areas of Australia are the worst seen in that part of the world in decades. Not only are fires affecting people and property, but wildlife is also suffering profoundly. BBC News reports that over 480 million animals have been killed since the fires began in July 2019. These figures are based on estimates from Professor Chris Dickman, an expert on Australian biodiversity at the University of Sydney.
Larger animals such as kangaroos, koalas, emus, and of course birds, can often initially escape the flames. Once the fires are out, though, they face starvation and dehydration brought on by the widespread destruction of their habitat. Smaller species have an even harder time surviving the fires.
Help is pouring in from all parts of the globe, including Cincinnati, where animal lovers have responded in droves thanks in part to the world’s most famous hippo. The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden has always promoted wildlife conservation and rescue as one of its core tenants. To that end, the Zoo is teaming up with Cincy Shirts, the company that created the famous Feeling Hip Fiona the Hippo T-shirt, to help raise money for the animals affected by the Australian wildfires.
One way help is being provided is via a new T-shirt called Fiona & Friends. Illustrated by Loren Long, who has worked on children’s books by Barack Obama, Madonna, as well as his own, the shirt features Fiona receiving a hug from a kangaroo and koala, two of Australia’s most famous indigenous creatures.
Sales have already been brisk, to say the least, with 100% of net proceeds going directly to the Zoos Victoria's Bushfire Emergency Wildlife Fund. All funds raised will be used for critical care and long-term recovery of Australian wildlife. Zoos Victoria’s primary focus in regards to the fires will be emergency veterinary care as well as scientific intervention. This will include exploring supplementary feeding sources for the animals who have survived, but whose habitats have been destroyed by the bushfires.
Those efforts will be ongoing as the fires are expected to rage for several more months, putting further stress on people, homes, and, of course, wildlife.

It gladdens my heart to be out here to say a word of thank you to Dr Isikolo.
I never thought I would be able to see my marriage work again despite the fact that everything had already been working against me, Dr Isikolo came to my rescue. I had a problem in my home which made my husband left and I was already pregnant and it became difficult for me to cope without him in my life. His family supported me all along but no one could help reunite us back except Dr Isikolo who responded at the time I needed help the most. He got the problem fixed and my husband returned back home to me just after 48 hours because he was still living in the same city with me. It quite amazing when you find help where you least thought you can get help. Once again thank you Dr Isikolo for all you do to help people in dire need of assistance. Text him on WhatsApp via +2348133261196 or visit his webpage (https://isikolo-temple.com)

After so many months of trying to to be a member of the illuminati and was scammed the sum of $3,000 i became so desperate in being a member online who will not add to my pains, then i decided to contact a friend of mine who recently became a member, we discussed about the issue and to our conclusion she told me about a man called Paul mark who is the grand master in the illuminati. So i applied to become a member of illuminati easily without stress and all the preparations were made concerning how to become a member in two(2) days i became a member and the sum of 5 million dollars was deposited into my bank account so i want to advice any one who wants to become a member should call him +2349130700648 or WhatsApp him +2349130700648 or email (illuminatiworldoffamous@gmail.com) he does not know am doing this i pray that lucifer will bless him for the good things he has done in my life
