In its statement, the chocolate giant said that it had been deeply affected by the fires and wished to help the people and wildlife of Australia. According to local media, Victoria Zoo, Taronga Zoo and the Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park are set to receive a minimum of $500,000 from the initiative guaranteed.
The chocolatier has also pledged to donate to food banks across Australia. Firefighters across Australia have been tirelessly fighting the Australian bushfire day and night.

The deadly Australian bushfires have already devastated vast tracts of land and killed 25 people. Hundreds of animals have also lost their lives in the blaze. The bushfires ravaging Australia are the worst the continent has ever seen and emergency services have quickly become overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the fire.
