Abstract
The largest forest fire in history broke out in Australia in July 2019. The wildfire burned to Kangaroo Island in Australia on January 3, 2020, bringing a serious ecological disaster to Kangaroo Island. In order to analyze the severity of damage caused by wildfires to Kangaroo Island, this paper analyzes the remote sensing images of Kangaroo Island from the two periods of 2019.12.08 and 2020.01.09, through the change of vegetation index. The research indicates that the MEAN value of vegetation index dropped from 0.3530 to 0.2359, dropped by 33.17% before and after the wildfire happening. The area slightly affected by the wildfire is 676.9512 km2, accounts for 15.32% of the total area of Kangaroo Island. The area severe affected by the wildfire is 2200.5765 km2, accounts for 49.79% of the total area of Kangaroo Island. The results of these data indicate that the Kangaroo Island ecosystem has been severely damaged by wildfires.
