Australia has had a fierce early start to the bushfire season. The blaze at the Lake Innes Nature Reserve already destroyed two-thirds of its koalas' habitat, Australia's SBS reports.
今年,澳大利亚提前进入森林火灾季。据澳大利亚SBS电视台报道,因尼斯湖自然保护区的大火已经摧毁了三分之二的考拉栖息地。
Koala Conservation Australia estimates the fires have killed 350 koalas so far, which is a huge blow to a reserve that houses a total population of around 500 to 600 koalas.
据澳大利亚考拉保护组织消息,估计有350只考拉在这场大火中丧生,对于这个拥有500到600只考拉的保护区来说是一个沉重的打击。
The Conservation's president Sue Ashton fears that they are "losing the battle to keep the population" because "we're losing them at a much faster rate than they're breeding." Her rescue centre is going to "take as many koalas" as they can.

"We think if we don't take them and they're out there at risk, we could lose all of them." Ashton told SBS.
阿什顿在接受SBS采访时表示:“我们觉得如果不把它们带走,它们就会处于危险之中,我们可能会失去所有的考拉。”
