We really haven t learnt much in the past 25 million years of evolution. Modern man is just so driven by greed and hell bent on his own destruction. Not to many people are aware of the results to date that Australia sits near the top of the list when it comes to species destruction. What a shameful way we have treated our country. Introduction of foreign species, deforestation, pollutants and other harmful processes have all played a major role in what has shaped this country to what it is today.
Foreign species have no direct relation to Australia s unique biodiversity.
I think in many cases we fail to fully understand the meaning of the word extinct . Fragmentation of native scrub, salinization, desertification due to overgrazing and many other destructive processes put a huge strain on both Flora and Fauna. Habitat destruction has and still is continuing on a large scale. These are some of the things we must take a serious look at. There is no easy solution to Environmental impact in some cases, but there is a lot that can be done to either improve or rectify the situation.
