He said: "It has been an immensely tough week for us all here.

"Our project centres on fighting climate change and restoring nature, so it was deeply devastating and ironic that we experienced a serious fire along the Coastal Park on Tuesday.

"A significant amount of wildlife perished in the fire, in particular mammals, reptile and amphibians, late nesting and juvenile birds, but we hope that many were able to escape the fast moving flames. A total of 33 hectares were ravaged by the fire."
