"About 100 of Australia’s unique land mammals face extinction. Of the many
threats contributing to the crisis, certain fire regimes are among the most
pervasive.
In a new paper, we reveal how “inappropriate” fire patterns put 88% of
Australia’s threatened land mammals at greater risk of extinction – from
ground-dwelling bandicoots to tree-climbing possums and high-flying microbats.
Our research also identifies what type of fires are most damaging to threatened
mammals, and shows some mammals are suffering due to a lack of fire.
A better understanding of how inappropriate fire regimes damage mammal
populations is crucial to addressing biodiversity loss and improving
conservation efforts."
