Endangered and Extinct

The list of Australian mammals from vulnerable to extinct. Australia is a truly wonderful country and it's isolation from the rest of the world has produced some unique and incredible species.  The price of ignorance 200 years ago has, however, cost the lives of many animals.  We do have a very real opportunity to correct the mistakes of the past and revive the ones that remain, for more please visit our Feral Eradication page.  This is a list of mammals only, we have not included reptiles, insects, birds, plants etc, quite frankly it makes for a sobering reading experience.  This is only for one country and Australia is fairly typical of what has and is happening all over the world.

Take a moment to read these lists, especially the extinct list, and remember that extinction means forever, we will never see these animals again.
