"It feels a bit strange to publish a paper that we want proved wrong – we have
identified the 63 Australian birds, mammals, fish, frogs and reptiles most
likely to go extinct in the next 20 years.
Australia’s extinction record is abysmal, and we felt the best way to stop it
was to identify the species at greatest risk, as they require the most urgent
action.
Leading up to this paper, we worked with conservation biologists and managers
from around the country to publish research on the species closest to
extinction within each broad group of animals. Birds and mammals came first,
followed by fish, reptiles and frogs.
From these we identified the species that need immediate work. Our purpose is
to try to ensure our predictions of extinction do not come true. But it won’t
be easy."
