"Human being is a virus which plagues our planet, not the species that shall protect all life" ......and only human being can change this course of destruction, every single one of us all!!! "One doesn't have to operate with great malice to do great harm. The absence of empathy and understanding are sufficient." - Charles M. Blow
Beautiful. And so important to donate to these organisations who are doing an amazing and brave job!
Stunning art. Really sad that it needed to be made, though.
my heart breaks for poor animals loosing their homes and lives, firefighters are true heroes!
Food art! This is really cool actually. (Aside from the fires of course. The art is cool. The fires aren't cool.)
i'm at work and i'm crying, damn ninjas cutting onions and those fires...
In the midst of it all, the animals seem to know that they can be comforted by the human.
Mother Nature herself is mourning the great loss caused by the fires.
Mistake: Never listen sad music/sad metal when watching these posts :(
Australian here. Estimated 1 Billion animals dead..20 thousand Koalas on Kangaroo Island Alone. The Fires are still burning. I'm crying..again 💔
A friend of mine from Victoria noticed there were no donation links for the fires there. So here it is https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/donate1. This artwork is so heartfelt it may even penetrate the thick skulls of our government..here's hoping.
Load More Replies...I made my own tribute to the lives lost in the fire, but I'm on mobile & unable to upload it right now. Later today I'll update this comment with my art so please upvote this comment so it doesn't get buried!
Sorry folks, due to personal issues I won't be uploading that picture or even checking BP for a week or so. So my dog's gonna f*****g die tomorrow & I'm not really in the right frame of mind for anything really. I might just delete these comments entirely. Feel free to downvote to get this out the way, idfc anymore
Load More Replies...This is what happens when a country's leader is influenced by fossil fuel companies and other industry, and denies climate change instead of encouraging investment in alternative sources of power. The Amazon is being cleared for industry, America's National Parks are being opened up for exploitation - short-sighted business and their political enablers are only interested in making money now, and don't care that by doing so, they are damaging the planet we all share, and everything that lives on it. Protest, and vote out everyone who denies climate change.
Absolutely gut wrenching. I wish I could do more than donate money to help these animals. I can't though as I live so far away. Donating seems so.... I don't know. It's not enough. Not by a long shot.
So do I. I donnate to help these animals but it feels such a small gesture. I wish I could be there.

My sister and her family had to evacuate and even though they were lucky, many people and animals around them were not. The loss of life, the loss of wildlife and domestic animals cannot be counted, it's in the millions and this counting has only just begun. We may eventually recover from the fires but I don't think as a nation, we will ever be the same.
Too bad about the fires... But praying does not change s**t so please do something else like minimise your carbon footprint because Australians were nr. 2 per capita in 2016!
Something as careless as a lit match or a poorly put out campfire during a dry season with little to no rain, it can cause major damage and loss of wildlife and their habitats.
When the fires were really bad, I was chatting about it with my mother. She told me a bunch of people were staying on the beaches and if the fire got too close, everyone had to be put in the ocean. This was done with the full knowledge some people would die, but it was the best option. That broke my heart.
Seen these. My eyes and my cheeks are NOT dry and I am NOT ashamed to say so. Superb , moving artwork; horrendous reality.

This artwork is brillliant. It is such a shame we need it. Thank you to all the artists and we hope to never see this again.
Went through all these pics while listening to an a capella cover of Unsteady by x ambassadors. the tears wouldnt stop flowing. and to those who say that praying isnt enough. I have no money to give without starving myself. prayer is all i can give.
