Peter, number is no exaggeration. It is into the BILLIONS when you take into account snakes, lizards, insects...total imbalance of micro, mini and macro ecosystems.
Wife and I have been helping transport animal food, water and vet supplies donated here in Canberra from the collection points to the storage sheds. It's a small part, but the least we could do. Our kids have been drawing on the pouches for the orphaned babies.
Hundreds of people worldwide have been making these pouches for baby roos, possums, koalas, and bats - from Asia, Russia, USA, Europe. Making bird boxes to go into trees and on poles if there are no trees left.
Many are DOING something - however small - rather than complaining about their own health from the smoke. Our neighbours have been scrounging the golf course bins for bottles and cans and donating this money directly to the RFS - around $25 a day just from one golf course.
