Australia’s annual dry seasons are known for droughts and wildfires, but the dry season of 2019--2020 was remarkable due to the sheer extent of the devastation. By some estimates, more than 10 million hectares (38,600 square miles, an area slightly larger than the U.S. state of Indiana) burned, killing several million animals (including many of the country’s koalas) and more than 30 people. On a positive note, burned areas will recover from this disturbance, and tree planting and other forms of ecological restoration can help to hasten this process.

The connection between washing with clean water and avoiding coronavirus is an important one.

Bats, which make up a group of more than 1,200 species, are the only mammals capable of flight. They are important pollinators and seed dispersers, and they provide pest control by eating insects. A number of species also carry viruses that can sicken livestock and human beings---and they likely played some role in the SARS outbreak in 2002. Although much more evidence needs to be collected, researchers suspect that SARS-CoV-2 (the virus at the center of the coronavirus pandemic) originated in bats, and wildlife officials fear that they may become targets of human persecution.

This week's blog post below discusses the possibility of catching COVID-19 from a dog or a cat.
