Right now, we are facing an extinction crisis in Australia. Centuries of destruction of habitat combined with escalating impacts of climate change, bushfires and deforestation are pushing endangered wildlife to the brink.
Australia already has the worst track record for mammal extinction in the world. Since colonisation, more than 30 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.
The Greens have a plan to save our forests and animals from extinction, read our plan for a Green Australia. and join the fight.
