Australia's Endangered Animals (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780648691884)

By introducing some of Australia's endangered animals to young readers, this book aims to increase awareness of their and other animals' plight, and in turn help create greater respect and care for their habitats and the environment. There is a natural, delicate balance that is disrupted when problems such as habitat destruction, disease, and introduced predators push an increasing number of animals towards extinction. Catastrophic bushfires in Australia have had a devastating impact on wildlife, with University of Sydney ecologists estimating almost half a billion mammals, birds and reptiles lost since September 2019. The estimation includes animals killed in the fires, but also through loss of habitat.
