A new report handed to the Queensland government warns about the declining health of species including the ringtail possum , frogs, birds and myrtle plants . Ecologist Stephen Williams says tropics ‘at a real risk of losing the very things it was made a world heritage area to protect’.
The number of listed threatened species in Australia’s world heritage northern rainforests has increased by 25% since 2020, as ecologists say they are now clearly observing the long-predicted impacts of global heating. The report provides sombre but pragmatic warnings about the declining health of some species, including the ringtail possum, that were believed robust when the area was given international protection in 1988. It highlights the threats posed by invasive species, diseases, and climate change to the biodiversity of the area
