Art can be extremely powerful, in sending a message to the world.
Artists from all over the world have united in spreading awareness of devastating fires in Australia, and with their art reaching thousands, are able to not only spread awareness but to also help bring in even more donations.
Thank you to all the artists for expressing their pain in a way that contributes.
It's hard to share such devastating news.
It has been reported that nearly 500 million animals have perished since the start of the raging fires.
500 million. That's half a billion.
According to the University of Sydney, ecologists now estimate 480 million mammals, birds and reptiles have tragically been lost since September.
Entire species of plants and animals are endangered of being completely wiped out.
If you're unsure just how insanely large this fire really is, The Guardian has published an interactive map stating the scale of the fire is 1.5 times the size of Belgium, just to give some perspective.
We pray this horror ends soon without any more damage to the wildlife.

In 2015, Brolga, an Australian man who was living out in the bush with his family of kangaroos, decided to build a 188-acre sanctuary for kangaroos in Central Australia. His vision was to rescue, rehabilitate and release orphaned baby kangaroos back into the wild and to serve as a refuge for all kangaroos that have been raised by wildlife carers and cannot be released back into the wild due to injury and to provide them with good quality of life.
Brolga was approached by the BBC UK in 2011 and was asked if he would be interested in making a documentary about his work with kangaroos. Brolga thought this would be a great way to raise more awareness about the plight of kangaroos orphaned by highway accidents and about kindness towards animals around the world. The BBC went on to make the documentary Kangaroo Dundee which was a huge success. Kangaroo Dundee has just completed its third series which aired in 2016.
On its Instagram page, the sanctuary shares some cute photos and videos of baby kangaroos.
It's official now: the world has started to get a bit whacky. We have been seeing hints of this for a while, as feral hogs took over the minds of innocent Twitter denizens; I don't think Trump has been doing much to help the situation; and surely this 50 meter long penis near Geelong, Australia isn't normal (what's going on Australia?). My point is, weird things are happening. And they got even weirder when a video emerged of a mob of kangaroos hopping around on the snow. Wait - what? Snow? Australia? Kangaroos? Something is wrong.
Baby Kangaroos love to feel snuggled... and they are super cute when they go into a well.. different version of a pouch...
We all remember Jellybean right? If not, here's a small reminder. Jellybean is the adorable baby kangaroo (joey). We know, how could anyone forget! Well we have a very cute surprise for you!
Kangaroos are one of the weirder animals on earth. They hop, balance on their tails, can be super muscly, can also be super cute, and they have boxing matches. Weird, right? Well if you're a fact collector, here are some random facts about kangaroos that will up your trivia knowledge tenfold. Kangaroos are obscure animals and these facts about them are pretty obscure too. Use them wisely.
