Unfortunately Australia is a world leader in extinction. Three unique Australian animals have been lost in the last decade, and another ten birds and seven mammals are set go extinct in the next 20 years.
The Australian Senate has launched an inquiry to find out why Australia is a world leader in extinction. The Inquiry is particularly looking at:
- Whether Australia’s laws are working to protect our animals and their habitat,
- How effective other protections like national parks and Indigenous Protected Areas are and
- Whether enough money and resources is going into recovery efforts.
This is an opportunity to take a stand against extinction. Go now to the Wilderness Society website and send a personal submission to the Senate Inquiry.
