"From brightly coloured birds to the much-loved sugar glider, Australia’s
native animals are a sight to behold.
The island continent is home to nearly 600,000 plants, animals and insects,
many of which are found nowhere else in the world.
Tragically, though, we’re losing more of these species to habitat destruction
and climate change.
Worse still, conservationists are increasingly seeing one native species
threaten the survival of another. One example is the critically endangered
regent honeyeater, currently being threatened by native possums and gliders.
Our new study shows this trend could mean at-risk bird populations go extinct
much earlier than they otherwise would."
