Bushmeat?

The human cost of the bushfires still ranging in Australia has been immense but it has also recently been estimated that roughly (very?) a billion animals have died in these conflagrations (https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/video/2020/jan/22/why-it-could-take-a-century-for-australias-animals-to-recover-from-the-bushfires-video-explainer). It has been speculated that some unique mammals may take a century to recover their populations. This is making, of course, the very big assumption that they will have a century without widespread bushfires to recover in. That seems inherently unlikely.
