A timely call for action. Tim Flannery mentions the Australian Wildlife Conservancy as one of the solutions and I have thought for several years now that they are a good way of spending funds efficiently for good results. They and some other similar groups don't have to worry so much about catering for the public as national park services do and are more focussed on main issue. The organisation uses science and measure and reports on results. It is a suggestion that should be taken seriously.

Listening to these Qrtly Essays on audiobook are a great way to access them when I can't pick up a book, such as when the drudgery of housework can't be ignored any longer.
Unfortunately, as a nation, we still seem to be ignoring the extinction of many unique species despite warnings such as this essay that was first published in 2012.
This will become even more important after the extensive fires that have devastated vast tracks of native bushland, some beyond recovery because of the intensity of those catastrophic fires in the summer of 2019/2020.
While confronting, there is just over 2 hours of important information in this essay that could help us towards greater understanding of the necessity of action, that is, unless we want our natural heritage to disappear for good.
This essay is more confronting than Tim Flannery's most recent book, Europe, where he seems more resigned to what has already occurred and what can be done. An interesting contrast.
