According to WIRES, ecologists from the University of Sydney have estimated over 800 million animals have been affected by across Australia since the bushfires began in September 2019. There are still over 100 raging fires burning across the country. Summer is always an extremely busy season for wildlife rescue and in December 2019 WIRES volunteers attended over 3,300 rescues.
Cameo, a platform enabling fans to purchase personalized videos from their favorite pop culture personalities, offered hands that Cameo and their participating talent will donate a portion of their proceeds to benefit wildlife affected by bushfires in Australia.
“Our team has been heartbroken by the images of harmed wildlife coming out of Australia,” said Cameo CEO Steven Galanis. He continued, “We wanted to help and we’re fortunate that so many members of the Cameo Fameo have agreed to donate a portion of their Cameo proceeds to such a worthy cause.”
