8:17 am
led to them were unprecedented but may become more common it was the country's hottest and driest year on record the fires burned about 35000000 hectares of land the commission has published interim observations to help prepare for the next fire season which is fast approaching scientists say the fires killed or displaced always 3000000000 animals and destroyed their habitats and food sources nearly 120 animal species and about 470 plant species may not be able to survive as a result and the fires claimed 34 lives while another 450 people were killed by the smoke let's bring in paul reed in melbourne he's a senior lecturer at monash university and an expert in ecological crime good to have you with us on the program commissions that will be set up for a variety of reasons is this commission want to find answers to the problems of how climate change affects the country and how to tackle it in the future or is it want to apportion blame as to why regional authorities weren't able to control the fires
8:18 am
. a very good question and critical because i think the terms of reference of the royal commission started out with a focus on wanting to expand powers for. the federal level for the to for emergencies rather than in the it spoke more in terms of. adaptation to climate change rather than mitigation of climate change so what it means what the terms of reference from the outset were more interested in things such as hazard reduction. rather than. dealing with the major issue of climate change however i believe that the interim report has now suggested that climate change as well as hazard reduction has become. a major issue both for the strong public and for the world indeed i mean looking at
8:19 am
how the resource the fire and rescue infrastructure is or was in australia is a major factor in the report because it's directly related to the way that fires break out across australia day the seas normally i believe starts from north to south of the country but when you have periodic fires and sporadic fire is happening all over the country where the emergency services are required at every opportunity that causes a huge problem. it's a massive issue i don't think we're going to have the conditions that we had last year for us for some time although what we were dealing with were multiple mega fires occurring across the nation normally we have about $60000.00 bushfires a year. and normally 85 percent of them can be traced to human origins but they we had 3 main climate drivers that were affecting us. last year
8:20 am
and thankfully the southern your modes the the indian ocean dipole and only near sink fully those factors have completely reversed this turnaround so if they were. the if the causes of the fires were more to do with atmospheric and weather conditions rather than human. human issues but because there was so widespread it put incredible. pressure or firefighting services and the royal commission has looked at how to in heads and support fire fighting services as well as to enhance its aerial bombing capacity so that it can. drop run more water ballance to control fire sounded i suppose really for the bar general audience so across the globe you know we're looking at pictures now of the many species and animals that were affected by the fires in your expertise how large has this loss of
8:21 am
wildlife been to australia and what sort of recovery time if any is there going to be for some species of plant life. well i think some of the people in in that area have said that the recovery time could be decades. as you said at the start i think 12200 t. species probably extinct 1000000000 animals died and that's an on that is a conservative estimate so the regeneration has regeneration in terms of plant life has been fairly rapid it is as it always is but the destruction to the logical nations for many of these places has been absolutely tragic and we will we will not see those species return we want to see what
