Australian Biodiversity

Australian biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals, and ecosystems found across Australia. It includes unique species like kangaroos, koalas, and many types of eucalyptus trees, as well as diverse habitats such as rainforests, deserts, and coral reefs. Australia is known for its high level of endemism, meaning many species are found nowhere else in the world. This rich biodiversity is crucial for ecological balance, supporting food webs and human well-being. However, it faces threats from climate change, habitat loss, and invasive species, highlighting the need for conservation efforts to protect this natural heritage.
