Australia, We’re With You — a Message from Tokenize CEO
Right now, Australia is burning. The nation is being ravaged by the most devastating bushfire season the country has ever seen.
So far, more than 10 million hectares of Australian land have been burned. At least 27 people have died and over 2,000 homes lost. Tokenize is greatly saddened by the loss of life and homes, as well as all the injuries, pain and suffering caused by the bushfires.
NSW has declared a state of emergency and Victoria a state of disaster, and major fires are raging in South Australia and Western Australia.
And while trees burn, our wildlife also suffers.
It’s been estimated that around 1.25 billion animals have been killed across Australia to date. This includes thousands of koalas and other iconic species such as kangaroos, wallabies, kookaburras, cockatoos, and honeyeaters burnt alive, and many thousands more injured and homeless.
The catastrophic megafires sweeping our country are greatly exacerbating the species extinction crisis we’re already facing. Yet this is just the beginning. That’s why, in the whole January and February, Tokenize Xchange will be donating 1 SGD for every trade that you make on our exchange to the related Australian foundations by the end of the respective month.
We encourage any of you, our guests, members of the Tokenize community, who are in a position to donate to do so via the following links:
Victorian Country Fire Association
Queensland Rural Fire Brigades
Wildlife VictoriaThis natural disaster is a tragedy. But Australia is strong,
and with our support, they will get through this.
Sending love to everyone in Australia, and gratitude to all of you around the world who choose to help fight these fires.
