The vast continent of Australia is home to some of the most beautiful plants and animals on the planet. Many have developed in beautiful geological solitude and are located nowhere else on the planet.
Unfortunately, according to the IUCN, Australia has 96 critically endangered animal species. We ll be profiling each of them in the coming months, looking at the risks to their survival, what s been done to protect them, and what else needs to be done.
The highest vulnerability rating that can be applied to a wild species is critically endangered (lower categories are endangered and vulnerable ). These animals are either on the verge of extinction, or their numbers have declined (or may decrease) by 80% in three decades. Any of these animals may be extinct already.
