I am from India and I love animals. When I watched videos of kangaroos and koalas suffering in the Australian bushfires, my heart broke. I felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness seeing these innocent creatures, who cannot ask for help, endure such agony.

Bushfires ravage large swathes of Australia every year, destroying habitats and threatening the unique fauna that reside there. Kangaroos, koalas, and countless other species face life-threatening situations during these fires. According to reports, the 2019-2020 Australian bushfire season, also known as Black Summer, killed or displaced nearly three billion animals. This shows the devastating impact bushfires have on wildlife.

I truly believe that proactive measures can make a significant difference. By deploying drones to drop water on dry forests, especially in high-risk areas before fires start, we can greatly mitigate the risk. Australian climate and fire experts agree that preemptive actions, such as strategic water bombing, can curb the spread of bushfires, thus providing a fighting chance for wildlife to survive.

This innovative use of technology would not only protect animals and their habitats but also safeguard the biodiversity that makes Australia special. By demonstrating responsible environmental stewardship, we set a precedent for other regions facing similar challenges.

It is time we become the voice for those who cannot ask for our help. I urge the Australian Government to consider implementing drone water bombing in regions identified as high-risk fire zones. With timely actions, we have the power to prevent another catastrophic bushfire season.

Let us join hands to protect Australia's cherished wildlife from the devastating impacts of bushfires. Please sign this petition to support the call for proactive drone water bombing measures. Together, we can make a difference and ensure a safer future for Australia's unique creatures.
