Life inside Australia’s devastating wildfires

Australia's eastern coast has been ravaged by wildfires that have killed at least 25 people, decimating precious ecosystems, and left an estimated 500 million animals dead.

We speak to her today about why this wildfire season is so devastating and how she feels the government should be responding.
