ADVOCACY

Along with climate change and habitat loss, invasive species are one of the top three threats facing Australia’s native plants, wildlife and ecosystems. Australia has one of the worst animal extinction records in the world, due mainly to invasive species, also having lost by far the highest number of mammals in recent times, with foxes, cats or rabbits implicated in most of these extinctions. The work of the Invasive Species Council focuses on strengthening laws and policies to prevent future invasions and better protect the Australian environment against these threats. They rely on the generosity of their sponsors to continue their great work. We have been involved in designing material to raise awareness of their cause , engage and educate the public.
