Animals Today – October 20, 2013. Protecting Native Species of Australia

On this show, we traveled down under with Atticus Fleming, who leads Australian Wildlife Conservancy. Their mission is the effective conservation of all Australian animal species and the habitats in which they live. Since European colonization, Australia has lost many animals to extinction. Yet the country still has a great level of biodiversity. The AWC is the country’s largest group working to maintain and protect native species. Visit them here. Plus, service animals gone wild, California bans lead shot, and hear the sound of a kookaburra and discover its real meaning.
