National Threatened Species Day – 7/9/11
The National Threatened Species Day commemorates the death of the last Tasmanian tiger at Hobart Zoo in 1936. It reminds us to be aware of our threatened native species.
The impacts of land development, introduced plants and animals, grazing, salinity, changed fire regimes, pollution, and a changing climate all place additional pressure on our threatened species and their shrinking habitats.
