Tragically almost a third of the Koalas population in the New South Wales region have been killed due to the deadly bushfires which have been burning out of control for weeks.

At least 23 people have been reported dead and over 1,300 homes have been destroyed.

While the news shared by Masvidal out of Australia is nothing short of heart breaking, there are stories of love and courage bringing hope to those around the world.

The Irwin Family, made famous by the late great Steve Irwin, have rescued and treated over 90,000 animals, many of which were injured in the deadly fires.

Irwin’s daughter took to Instagram with the following inspirational message.

With so many devastating fires within Australia, my heart breaks for the people and wildlife who have lost so much. I wanted to let you know that we are SAFE. There are no fires near us @AustraliaZoo or our conservation properties. Our Wildlife Hospital is busier than ever though, having officially treated over 90,000 patients. My parents dedicated our Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital to my beautiful grandmother. We will continue to honour her by being Wildlife Warriors and saving as many lives as we can.
