	<description><![CDATA[In this episode of NYK Politics, Kelly Donithan, senior specialist with the Disaster Operations at Humane Society International (HSI), Washington D.C., takes us on a startling journey: join us as we see through the eyes of personnel on the ground in Australia as they face the hard reality of rescuing wildlife amidst the perils and aftermath of the fires.

Listen as Donithan describes her experience leading wildlife-rescue efforts on Kangaroo Island, the third largest island off the coast of Australia, and one of the most heavily affected locations: the island has now lost 1,700 square  miles to the flames. 

Kathryn and Donithan  discuss the length and severity of this record-breaking fire season in Australia. Donithan underscores how the temperatures have been hotter and the conditions drier than in the past, and so the fires have burned far more intensely and on a much grander scale. The fires have taken human lives and livestock, destroyed property and vegetation, and devastated the  wildlife population so unique to Australia.]]></description>
