The threat looms over the unique flora and fauna of Kangaroo Island. The fire destroyed 155,000 hectares of land, which is about a third of the entire area of the island. Thousands of koalas died. There are eight nature reserves on the island, which are home to such endangered species as narrow-legged marsupial mice, monitor lizards, echidnas, bandicoots, glossy black cockatoos.
