In a remarkable wildlife sighting, the Kakarratul, a rare northern marsupial mole, has been observed by traditional custodians in a remote region of Australia. While exciting, this re-discovery also points to a very poignant question – Can these elusive, lesser-researched animals survive in the wild with the onset of climate change?
Despite initial enthusiasm, research by wildlife conservationists highlights the fact that multi-level policies for working groups, co-ops, trade agreements and conventions have had little impact on wildlife conservation.
In fact, the Pacific islands’ notorious reputation for their dwindling biodiversity has only been exacerbated in recent years. With the onset of habitat loss, pollution, environmental degradation and rising sea levels- the future of these islands and their animals looks bleak.
