Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Australia vows new plan to stop mammal extinction crisis
A total of 379 species of mammals have been recorded in Australia and surrounding continental waters: 357 indigenous and 22 introduced. There are 75 bat species, XX marine mammals like the Humpback whale, monotremes and marsupials like the Tasmanian devil, placental mammals like red deer, and rodents. Unfortunately, as Australia’s environment declines due to human activities and global warming, many of these species are becoming more vulnerable. So, the country set a 10-year strategy to reduce the loss of any more species by protecting up to 30% of the land under national environmental laws. 110 species are going to be prioritized for protection, including the Australian sea lion and Gilbert's Potoroo, of which only about 100 remain.
Once it becomes extinct, the species will never revive with today’s technologies.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about one small step to conserve nature in Australia.
