MAMMAL EXTINCTIONS NEW THINKING

摘要

With an increasing list of endangered mammals slipping towards extinction in Australia, leading ecologists are aiming for solutions with more effort on science-based changes in management practices on the ground. At August's INTECOL conference in Brisbane, the largest gathering of ecologists ever to be held in the southern hemisphere, Professor Iain Gordon with CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems and Professor Chris Johnson from James Cook University will be chairing a panel of experts for a symposium session on Australian mammal extinctions, and their patterns, process and prevention.
