Since Europeans colonised Australia, about 100 of Australia’s unique flora and fauna species have become extinct. Unfortunately, the rate of loss has not slowed over the past 200 years.
On Tuesday, a review of the Environment, Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act found the legislation ineffective in enabling the protection and conservation of the environment and found Australia’s biodiversity in an ‘unsustainable state of decline’
In this episode, climate and environment editor Nick O'Malley is joined by climate and energy reporter Mike Foley to discuss the review.
