Full description for On Our Watch
Providing a detailed snapshot of the condition of Australia's remarkable plants, wildlife, and their living landscapes, this informative account examines the environmental changes that are causing many plants and animals to be threatened with extinction. Outlining increasing dangers--loss of native habitat, the introduction of foreign plants and animals, and the impacts of excessive agricultural development--this passionate polemic examines the main conservation approaches, provides insight into law and politics, questions the power of lobby groups, and offers realistic actions for slowing the steady decline of the Australian natural heritage.
