Australia Bushfire Fund Report Update - January 2021

In January 2020, WWF-Australia responded to the bushfires launching the global Australian Bushfire Recovery Fund and mobilized urgent response. We could not do any of this work without the generosity of our supporters in Australia and around the world. Thanks to you, we raised $45 million for the WWF Australian Wildlife & Nature Recovery Fund.

The WWF-Australia Wildlife and Nature Recovery Fund was established with three goals:

• Respond: Respond to the needs of fire-impacted wildlife and species with urgency.
• Protect: Protect what remains and deploy interventions that mitigate the processes that will increase the frequency and severity of both current and future fires.
• Restore: Restore Australia’s scorched landscapes drawing upon leading climate adaptation science so that our flora and fauna can flourish, and Australians can rely on vital ecosystem services long into the future.
