Lewis the koala dies one week after being rescued from Australian fires
The now-famous koala named Lewis died in a local koala hospital just days after a local woman saved him from a wildfire in the Australian state of New South Wales. Lewis was treated for his wounds, but they were so severe he could not be saved.
A total area of over 42 million acres has been burned leaving an estimated 1 billion animals dead. The fires have caused the biggest devastation of habitats in recorded history.
As blazes raged through the country, 34 people have died, and thousands of homes were destroyed.
The impact on wildlife is unimaginable, as vast areas of habitat have been scorched. Officials fear the toll on native species of animals and plants will be immense.
The country's koala populations has been a major victim of the bushfires, with thousands of the animals feared killed.

I am going to order soon as I can afford. Probably next month. On a fixed income. I have shared to help. So sad Lewis and so many others had to hurt so badly before their death. Sad so many more have lost their habitat. I pray it will regrow quickly for these precious babies. God bless them all.
I pray that these little fellows find a safe haven. These animals and their habitats need protection. It is sad that there are so many fires causing so much destruction. My whole life these little Koalas have been the face of Australia along with Kangaroos!
