The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met with the Australian business owners and emergency service workers from Kangaroo Island. The Duke and Duchess received information from them about the impact of bushfires that broke out in January 2020 on the locals, wildlife and economy of the island. During the conversation, the Duke and Duchess praised the efforts of all people who had worked to minimize the spread of the fire and protect the island’s locals.
The bushfires caused the loss of thousands of animals and widespread damage to their habitats on Kangaroo Island, which is one of Australia’s most important wildlife sanctuaries. About 48% of Kangaroo Island was affected by bushfires over the course of several weeks. Two people died because of the fire and houses and livelihoods of the locals were severely damaged.
