What factors lead to extinction? How has European man altered the Australian environment?
We look at how mankind’s activities have helped some animals proliferate (eg. red kangaroo, galah) while others have declined. How has aboriginal man altered the Australian environment?
We look at animal extinctions before the colonisation of Australia by Europeans.
Major Mitchell Cockatoo
Woma Python
Boyd’s Forest Dragon
Western Blue-tongue
Squirrel Glider
victorian Carpet Python
Saltwater Crocodile.....plus much more!
Students will have the opportunity to touch and hold these magnificent creatures.
How can animals be viewed as environmental indicators?
Habitat destruction: Felling of trees (hollow logs), destruction of rainforest, habitat isolation.
Feral peril: Look at the effects of rabbit, fox, feral pig, rat, cat and dingo introduction.
Hunting / poaching / trafficking,
Finally we look at ways in which we can make a positive impact on our environment by promoting public awareness through zoos and sanctuaries.
We review captive breeding and reintroduction programs of animals, protection of suitable habitat (eg. National Parks) and elimination of feral predators.
