Intentional wildfires
can be easily started through: -Fireworks -Cigarettes -Unattended Campfires To prevent them from
happening you can: -Always pay close attention to the campfire you have started -Avoid smoking in heavily vegetated areas - Keep plants in check because dry plants/grass could
easily cause a wildfire, especially with environmental factors - Avoid camping (that requires starting a campfire) when it
is windy -Pay close attention to your surroundings, and address the
issue if need be |
Animals could be
affected by wildfires: -It could be true that some animals need these fires to
thrive, but most animals are harmed by it; as well as our environment -Most animals such as the koala, require intensive care
after being rescued, because they are not capable of escaping these fires on
their own -They are affected in a way where they lose their home, and
are stripped away from their families -Some species negatively impacted by wildfires can be found
through: HERE -People can bring these injured animals to a rehabilitation center to treat them but that would not
guarantee the restoration of their homes

Please make the
correct decisions and not purposely commit arson; we need to protect the
lives of others as well as our own! These creatures are defenseless to
choices individuals make, so it is important that we are educated as well as
provide the knowledge we have for others. Be wary of the fires you start, and
be cautious, as we can see most wildfires are caused unintentionally. To learn more about
koalas, and how they are affected by wildfires, please click the image of the
