Naomi Watts posted a heartbreaking message, showing her dismay at the fires that have ravaged Australia, where she has grown in part, since September. Over 500 million animals perished in the flames. 17 people were killed, 5.4 million hectares and 1,300 homes disappeared.
A tragic assessment that can only increase, because, as Naomi Watts recalls on Instagram, "summer is far from over".

This was my last eve in Byron, NSW, Australia. To get a sense of how beautiful the wildlife regularly sounds ... Please turn up the volume. The fires have been truly horrendous. It's so upsetting and worrying. So much wildlife already lost. And still much of the summer ahead. My heart goes out to those who've lost loved ones and homes. Big gratitude to the brave firemen who literally haven't stopped during the holidays !! 🙏 Heartbroken for all the animals, plants and land ... 🙏 for rain 🌧 #tbt ❤️🇦🇺

The Mulholland Drive actress posted a video from her "last night in Byron, Australia", where you can hear the vegetation and the many animals that live there. "Please turn up the volume." These fires were truly terrible. It is so disturbing and traumatic. So much wild life already lost, ”she writes.
The call of rain
The one who played under the direction of Jean-Marc Vallée, in particular, thanked the firefighters who are fighting the fires and had a thought for those who lost everything in the flames. Naomi Watts ends her publication by asking her subscribers to "pray for the rain to come".
A rain that is tragically long overdue. Three days ago, tourists found refuge on beaches in the southeast of the country and residents had no choice but to flee offshore by boat.
