I've read parts of this book and I can advice you to have a look at it, because it covers a lot of interesting issue's. It's about all the things we know, but written in an interesting way, to the point.
On Borrowed Time describes:
- The uniqueness of Australia's biodiversity and environments — Australia is the only megadiverse nation with a developed economy
- The state of Australia's ecology after 200 years of white settlement — the continent has the worst biodiversity loss record of any place on earth and rates of land degradation that are virtually unparalleled elsewhere
- The 10 key issues that must be tackled urgently :
ISBN / Catalogue Number: 9780143006961
Excellent - I'm always on the lookout for environmental books that focus on Australia.
