Summary The health of the world's biodiversity is under considerable threat, and Australia is no exception, with more than 2,000 Australian species featuring on the latest annual Red List of Threatened Species. Twenty per cent of Australia's wildlife is now classified as threatened. Australia's biodiversity is unique and globally significant. Australia is home to many endemic species of plants and animals which are under increasing threat from multiple fronts, including habitat degradation from human activity, native vegetation clearance, deterioration of water and soil quality, increased dryland sali.
