SYDNEY, June 4 (Xinhua) – Due to the 2019-20 “Black Summer” bushfires, more than 18.6 million hectares of land, mostly on Australia’s east coast, were burned by fires that raged for more than half a year. Close to 8 million hectares of forest, woodland and shrubland were burned in the country’s southeast alone. More than 100 Australian plant species had their all known populations burned.
One year after the fires, the green growth is seen back in the forests of Blue Mountains area in New South Wales.
