As Australia Burns, Cointelegraph and Oxygen Seven Raise Relief Funds

As megablazes ravage Australia, destroying vast amounts of land and wildlife, Cointelegraph and Oxygen Seven have partnered in a Bitcoin fundraising effort to benefit recovery efforts in the country.

Fighting fire with fundraisingThe announcement between Cointelegraph and Oxygen Seven came last week.

Through a page on Cointelegraph's website, users can make anonymous or attributed donations in Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin wallet address belongs to Oxygen Seven, which in turn is contributing all of the funds to the Australian Wildfire Fund.It's a natural fit for Oxygen Seven, which focuses on issues of climate change, biodiversity, and reforestation.

When asked about the partnership, Rose said, "We chose Cointelegraph because I've been a reader quite some time and I think Cointelegraph can spread awareness to the massive crypto community for our work in Australia!".

Cointelegraph has itself donated 1 BTC to the effort, which has raised a total of 1.2 BTC at press time.

"After seeing the horrific scenes coming out of Australia and the magnitude of loss and suffering being experienced by the Australian people, Cointelegraph felt compelled to act and do our part to help. We know that the crypto community has the ability to mobilize and change the world."

Those donations will go to the Australian Wildlife Fund, a collaborative fundraising effort of organizations dedicated to helping Australia recover from the wildfires.

Donations support local firefighters, wildlife recovery efforts, local community needs, and long-term solutions to prevent future tragedies.

Cointelegraph is encouraging people to support Oxygen Seven's fundraising efforts by using the hashtag #CryptoForAustralia on social media.
