Grappling with the unthinkable: small mammal extinctions spreading to northern Australia

John Casimir Zichy-Woinarski, Tien McDonald

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate

Abstract

The normal expectation of an ecologist working for decades in the largely intact landscape of Australia’s north would be to discover over time more and more about its rich and remarkable diversity of fauna – but this interview shows that the reality of this ecologist’s 20-year experience is that the native fauna have been disappearing before his eyes.
