The new decade has not started well for Australia, where unusual wildfires spread across the southeastern coast. Fires are nothing new for Australia in summer, however, this year the situation is significantly worse. The fires have been spreading around since September and have been the cause of 24 human and 500 million animal deaths as well as the destruction of over 2,000 homes.

Each year, the season of wildfires seems to get longer and as the crisis continues a crypto news outlet, Cointelegraph, has announced that in partnership with Oxygen Seven, the company has created a Bitcoin fund that will direct the gathered money to the Australian Wildfire Fund.

The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the crypto news outlet, Helen Lang, said in a statement that witnessing the horrifying situation in Australia as well as the great losses that the country has suffered, Cointelegraph made the decision to help. She also added that the cryptocurrency community has the power to implement change around the world and Cointelegraph provided a transparent method for the people in the community to donate Bitcoin for the cause. In addition, Lang expressed how proud she was that Cointelegraph was provided the opportunity to work with Oxygen Seven as well as the Earth Alliance in order to sustain our environment for a brighter future.

The founder of Oxygen Seven, Nicholas Rose, also made a statement saying that the organization has recently completed a humanitarian mission in the Amazon that has been taking place since August of last year and has seen firsthand the devastating results of wildfires. Rose said that they stand with Australians and that the organization will help to restore the ecosystem and support locals.
