We probably don’t need to recap the terrifying facts about the catastrophic bushfires raging on in Australia, but we’ll break it down again anyway. Since September, raging wildfires Down Under have razed 60,000 sq km of forests (that’s about 83 times the size of Singapore), killed 25 people, displaced 67,000 more, damaged thousands of homes, and left approximately 480mil animals dead.
As you see the devastating footage and heartbreaking pictures that’ve been making their rounds on social media, you’ve probably been wondering how you can help bushfire victims, rescue efforts and injured wildlife all the way from Singapore. Here are a few ways you can lend a hand.
