Heavy forest fire kills about 3 billion animals killed or lost place to live
オーストラリアで発生した大規模な森林火災で、死んだり住む場所を失ったりした動物の数は約３０億匹と当初の試算の約３倍となったことがわかりました
It was found that the number of animals that died or lost their homes was about 3 billion, which was about three times the initial estimate, due to a large-scale forest fire in Australia.
A report commissioned by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) was released on the 28th
報告書の試算によれば、火災の犠牲となったのは哺乳類が１億４３００万匹、爬虫類が２４億６０００匹、鳥類が１億８０００万匹などです
According to the calculation of the report, 143 million mammals, 2.46 million reptiles and 180 million birds were killed in the fire.
爬虫類の犠牲が大きいのは哺乳類や鳥類と比べて１ヘクタールあたりの生息数が多いためです
Reptilian sacrifice is high because the number of inhabitants per hectare is higher than that of mammals and birds.
報告書によれば、オーストラリア全体では１万５０００件以上の火災が発生し、最悪のシーズンとなったということです
According to the report, it was the worst season in Australia with over 15,000 fires.
研究者たちは報告書の最終的な取りまとめをすすめています
Researchers are finalizing the report
However, the number of animals sacrificed at 3 billion is likely to remain unchanged
