Saving our species
Could paying farmers to conserve nature help save Australia鈥檚 unique wildlife?
Australia is famous for its unique wildlife and landscapes. But Australia also has the highest mammal extinction rate in the world, and there are big declines in frogs, reptiles, and birds caused by introduced predators and land clearing. Some species are hanging on in small numbers on private land.
Could paying farmers and indigenous landowners to return parts of their properties to nature or turn them into carbon farms help solve Australia鈥檚 biodiversity crisis?
ABC producer Belinda Sommer takes you to the wide plains and sub-tropical forests of Australia to meet the farmers who are combining commerce and conservation.
