Australian Forests Are Springing Back to Life After the Devastating Bushfires. Here Are 20 Fresh Photos of Hope

5 years ago

Good news from Australia: after the massive bushfires, the affected trees and plants are slowly coming back to life. Green, yellow, and red sprouts are pushing through burned tree trunks and drought-affected soil.

It’s estimated that the bushfires in Australia have destroyed around 15 million acres of forests, bush, and parks. The fires left drought and empty spaces behind, but nature always perseveres. Today, life is pushing through what seemed to be pure coal yesterday. And it fills our hearts with hope.

Every day the people of Australia are sharing new pictures that show how plants have started sprouting after the bushfires, and here are some fresh and uplifting shots:

It will take years for the forests to grow again, but if there are more fires it could destroy all that new growth

They need a really good program to help the animals as well, a decent breeding program, not just for endangered species but all species

Also cutting back on coal fired power stations would help with weather patterns (maybe)
