One of only two egg laying mammals is under threat.
Australia’s Iconic Platypus Faces Extinction Threat Due to Climate Change and Human Activity.⠀
⠀
According to a new study published in the journal Biological Conservation this month, the severe drought conditions and heat, combined with habitat loss and other impacts of human activities, are pushing one of Australia’s most enigmatic and iconic endemic species, the duck-billed platypus, toward extinction.⠀ We can’t let that happen!
So what can you do?
Here are a few things :
Reduce your own carbon footprint by wasting less, eating less red meat and switching to renewable energy where possible.
Refuse to buy anything packed in plastic.
Talk to your friends, collegues and family about climate change.
Tag someone and use climate change messages in your feed.
Like and comment on climate change messages to increase their reach.
Join a local group like #schoolstrike #extinctionrebellion #stopadani #fridaysforfuture #parentsforfuture
And most importantly,
#votefortheclimate!
