We're curious how much coverage this issue is getting around the world - let us know where you're watching from, to send a message to our Australian viewers letting them know that the world cares. And to all our Australian followers, we're thinking of you!

I'm glad that bigger social media influences are spreading awareness
- thank you so much from the land down under

Australia already has the most venomous creatures in the world and now the wildfires are getting even worse. Whoever is in Australia watching this, I hope you guys stay safe over there

1 billion animals dead. That’s literally mind boggling & extremely devastating.

Coming from someone who is from Melbourne and has asthma, this information is very precious, so many thanks for all of your prayers 🙏

[qinsthings]

Been waiting for this. I hope this gets to a lot of people and they finally understand how big this issue is.

Here in Australia, our sky is orange, it's always a sunset!

My sister is currently in Australia, and is pregnant with her first child. I am very concerned for her, as well as the environment.

As an Australian watching this, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone at ASAP science for speaking up about this issue in a factual and informative way. Bush fires are something every Australian has seen before, the 2013 Dunalley bushfires in Tasmania, the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires in Victoria, the 2017 bushfires in New South Wales, like in the past we must all band together to help one another through these difficult times.

THIS should be trending. THIS should be all over Instagram instead of the accounts posting to get followers. THIS is the best formative video on Australia's fires.

The most upsetting thing about this fire is the loss of a lot of Regenerative Agroforestry. Australia is the birthplace of permaculture, which is the best system to date in combating climate change, world hunger and fuel crisis.

Although the forest will grow back, there are some rare species where the fires were. I wonder how many are gone forever.

When I was a kid we said "summer is starting earlier each year"
Today you say "Fire is starting earlier each year." (1:12)

Hello from UK. This is so sad and I feel powerless which is infuriating. Please can someone on this doomed planet who has the power to change things DO SOMETHING! What makes me more worried is our ignorance. I'm on the other side of the world, but I still feel like this threat is right next door. To people in Australia, the world is watching and praying for you x 💜

Aussie here - thank you so much for using your platform to spread awareness about the fires. I have been struggling healthwise because of the fires and am concerned I may have developed some sort of respiratory issue... to people out there - if you can afford it, please do not offer your thoughts and prayers, please donate. We desperately need help.
