DID YOU KNOW THAT around 80% of Australia’s species are endemic or native, and many of them are thought likely to become extinct within our lifetimes? YES – many within two to three decades – that is terrifying and, looking at the data around species that are already extinct or extinct in the wild, we are already losing far too many of our fabulously unique and diverse species of both flora and fauna.
The focus of Conservation Club is to try to raise awareness of species that may be in our ‘backyards,’ and yet, we may not be aware of them.
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE…. GET OUT THERE and encourage these young and curious minds to engage with their local environments and the critters able to be found in them!
