In the Australian bushfire season of 2019-20, preliminary data showed that 47 of the 272 threatened plant species found in fire affected zones had 80 percent or more of their habitat burned. According to this study, more threatened plant species occurred in the fire affected areas than than all the Australian vertebrate and invertebrate threatened species combined.
Number of threatened plant species in areas affected by the bush fire season in Australia from August 2019 to January 2020, by habitat burned
Notes from the source:
The dataset presents a preliminary analysis of species listed under the Australian national Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, which occur in the areas affected by fires in southern and eastern Australia between 1 August 2019 and 13 January 2020.
Data presented is a preliminary analysis results are indicative only.
