Right now, we are facing an extinction crisis in Australia. Pollution, destruction and corporate greed have been pushing our natural world to the point of collapse for centuries - including the wildlife that depend on it.
Australia is the world leader for mammal extinctions in the world. Since colonisation, more than 34 mammal species have gone extinct in Australia. That’s the same number of mammal species that were lost in the rest of the world combined.
While the US and the UK are stepping up as global leaders on climate change and environmental protection, Australia continues to lag behind. It’s time for the Government to step up and adopt a zero extinction target.
