"Australians far less aware of biodiversity loss than climate crisis, research finds"

“Research found that fewer than half (43%) were aware Australia had one of the highest rates of mammal extinction in the world and just more than half (54%) knew most of Australia’s forests had been lost since colonisation.”

"Samuel’s 2020 review of national laws found Australia’s environment was in unsustainable decline and successive Australian governments had failed to protect the country’s unique species and habitats."

“Half of Australia’s economy relied on natural systems...The loss of biodiversity would have serious consequences for clean air, food and water, human health, Indigenous culture and national identity." The Guardian
