Endangered Species ...Australia
When I started to research the endangered list , I found myself horrified as to the results ..some many pages of animals many on the brink and many havent been seen for a few years. This list is only a numerate list to give you an idea and comes from Australian Government dept of Enviornment and Heritage...last updated in 2004...If you wish to see a detailed list of names you can go to the EPBC page on this URL http://www.deh.gov.au/cgi-bin/sprat/public/publicthreatenedlist.pl?wanted=fauna
Extinct:.............................frogs ..................4
........................................birds.................23
........................................mammals..........27
Extinct in the wild:..............fishes.................1
Critically Endangered:........fishes..................2
........................................reptiles...............1
........................................birds...................5
........................................mammals............2
........................................other animals......4
Endangered:.....................fishes................16
.......................................frogs.................15
.......................................reptiles..............11
.......................................birds.................38
.......................................mammals..........34
.......................................other animals......7
Vulnerable:.......................fishes..............20
........................................frogs..............12
........................................reptiles...........38
........................................birds...............64
........................................mammals........52

All I can say is things are getting very grim and we need to act urgently (as do many other countries) to save what is left..
