Queensland is home to 70% of Australia's native mammals (226 species), over 70% of native birds (630 species), just over half of the nation's native reptiles (485) and native frogs (127), and more than 11 000 native plant species. Hundreds of these have a threatened status in Queensland. In order for Queensland to maintain and recover a healthy biodiversity we must address the serious problems faced by our natural environment

habitat loss, inappropriate land management, change in fire regimes, pollution of natural resources, proliferation of invasive species and climate change. This comprehensive and practical guide to Queensland's threatened animals features up-todate distribution data, photos and maps for most of Queensland's threatened animals.

Reviews for Queensland's Threatened Animals

""For those unacquainted with the details, the book provides a well articulated introduction that manages to explain some complex ideas simply. ""I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to participate in species recovery in Queensland or interested in finding out more about the field."" James Brazill-Boast, Corella, pp. 102, Vol 36 (4), 2012 ""This book is a commendable source of information that draws together knowledge from hundreds of contributors to focus on 226 animal species that are threatened in Queensland."" Deborah Metters, Land for Wildlife South East Queensland, pp. 13, October 2012 ""... a must-have reference book that will provide vital information to scientists, educators, business entities, government agencies, students, community groups, environmental NGOs, regional NRMs and potential volunteers."" Queensland Landcare, March 2012 ""... shows us remarkable achievements in the understanding of species and their needs and in the extraordinary commitment, determination and inspiration of their researchers who have achieved scientific excellence on shoe-string budgets. ""Most conservation of fauna is determined by political processes according to what people think is worth preserving. With this book, the editors have assembled for the first time under one roof, an authoritative blueprint that will guide everyone from the landowner to the politician through the plights of the entire spectrum of threatened fauna species in Queensland...Congratulations on a magnificent resource."" Steve Van Dyck, Wildlife Australia Magazine, Autumn 2012 ""Queensland's Threatened Animals is a great resource in beginning to learn how threatened species conservation works within different legislative bounds and about the status of Queensland's threatened animals and what actions are being taken to preserve them."" Eridani Mulder, Pacific Conservation Biology, June 2013
