"Threatened Australians is a collaboration between conservation scientists from
University of Queensland Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science
(CBCS), interaction design academics from Queensland University of Technology
Design Lab and web developers from Wando Labs.
It was born out of a recognition that Australian species are in a disastrous
state and without better support, they will continue to decline. Australians
and their elected representatives can provide that support by talking about it.
If we talk about it, we can start to encourage those in power to do what they
can to provide the necessary solutions.
We felt the lack of a conversation around the Australian threatened species
crisis was, in part, due to a lack of basic information at the fingertips of
all Australians. This project is an attempt at providing an accessible and
engaging resource that helps to communicate the ongoing crisis.
How many people know about which species are endangered in their backyards? And
why are they endangered? And if locals don’t know these facts, how can they
possibly alert elected representatives when issues which affect the future of
these species arise?"
