<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 2em" class=brand-font>California's
2020 wildfire season was the largest in modern history —
<STRONG>nearly 10,000 separate fires burned almost 5 million
acres, displacing tens of thousands of residents from their
homes and killing 33 people.</STRONG> But one metric that we
cannot be sure of is <STRONG>the number of animal lives
lost,</STRONG> both during these disasters and in the
following months of lasting damage and cascading negative
effects. And now, <STRONG><A
href="https://www.care2.com/go/z/e/A8eVD/zxyM/b04p6"><FONT
size=+0>as of this writing in July, 2021, California's
wildfires have already "scorched 3 times more land than in the
same period" last year.</FONT></A></STRONG> </P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 2em">Nowhere is safe once the
wildfires have taken hold. Even aquatic ecosystems, like
Redwood Shores Lagoon off the San Francisco Bay, have seen a
total disruption. <STRONG>Ash falls from the sky, killing many
of the fish; pelicans and egrets fail to return without their
fish food sources, as do bat rays. <A
href="https://www.care2.com/go/z/e/A8eVD/zxyM/b04p6"><FONT
size=+0>These animals recovered this year just weeks before
the next, even more devastating wildfire season began and the
horrible cycle started all over again.</FONT></A></STRONG>
</P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 2em">Scientists, for years, have been
calling for more year-round maintenance of fuel areas — places
where dry vegetation, made even drier by climate change
induced heat and droughts, lays waiting to become
uncontrolled, deadly wildfires. This has largely gone
unaddressed, or even overpromised; <STRONG>in preparation for
the 2020 season, Governor Newsom claimed 90,000 acres of land
had been treated. An investigation uncovered that this number
was closer to 12,000.</STRONG> California has been routinely
falling short in its wildfire preparedness, and <STRONG>the
incalculable number of wildlife lost is only going to increase
if the state doesn't change its ways. <A
href="https://www.care2.com/go/z/e/A8eVD/zxyM/b04p6"><FONT
size=+0>Sign the petition and demand that California listen to
the science, and do more year-round to prevent uncontrolled
wildfires instead of it becoming a yearly
emergency!</FONT></A></STRONG> </P>
