The Australian Prime Minister decided to allocate 240 million yuan to save animals. His slow action caused dissatisfaction
Australian forest fires have burned more than 11.2 million hectares of land, equivalent to half the area of Britain.
Experts estimate that at least 1 billion animals died in forest fires. Australian Prime Minister Morrison was criticized for his slow response to the unprecedented crisis and even took his family to Hawaii for vacation during the fire.
On the 13th, the Australian government announced that it would allocate a $50 million (about 240 million yuan) to save wildlife, and described the current forest fire crisis as an "ecological disaster" threatening animal species such as koalas and rock kangaroos.
