In today's episode...
Here’s another awesome interview with another awesome Australian!
Meet Professor Euan Ritchie of Deakin University, Australia!
You may remember him in Episode AE 657: Interview: Australia’s Wildlife Extinction Crisis with Professor Euan Ritchie where we talked about the 2020 Australia bushfires.
He’s back to tell us more about Australia’s ecosystems, which, according to their study, are on the brink of collapse.
We discuss how climate change is affecting Australia’s 19 ecosystems, how habitat destruction and urbanisation have contributed to this problem, and what we can all do to help conserve the environment.
