We’ve all heard of kangaroos and koalas, but did you know that Australia is home to over 350 mammal species?
Our diverse landscape is primed for mammal habitation, but unfortunately, Australia currently has the worst animal extinction rate in the world.
This is where the Australian Mammal of the Year competition comes in!
Dr Sophie Calabretto is joined by Cosmos Journalist, Imma Perfetto, to chat all things mammals, how to get involved in Australian Mammal of the Year and why it’s important. We also hear from Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Euan Ritchie.
Voting for Australian Mammal of the Year 2023 is now open!
