Fast Facts 35. Biodiversity of Mammals, Birds, Acacias and Eucalypts in Australia

April 2003

The Audit's Terrestrial Biodiversity Assessment used four groups to assess patterns in biodiversity: mammals, birds, acacias and eucalypts. A detailed analysis of mammals and birds can help us understand the impact of land use on biodiversity. An analysis of endemic Acacia and eucalypt species (those that only occur in localised areas) can determine where highly restricted species may be threatened. These analyses for other species groups would help provide a more comprehensive picture of biodiversity priorities.
