摘要

So wrote naturalist john gould in 1863 about the limited thinking of Australians in relation to their native animals. It was a portentous observation; the next century and a half was to see the demise of numerous species of Australia's fauna, often as a result of the introduction of non-native animals. Yet even Gould may have been surprised at the extent to which, as colonisation took hold, the Australian landscape was to be irreparably altered, the bush overrun with introduced pests and the country's native animal populations, especially its seemingly hardy and prolific small animals, decimated. Startlingly, half of all worldwide mammal extinctions over the past 200 years have occurred in Australia. Today, Gould's great illustrated work, The Mammals of Australia, provides a window onto several native species observable at the time-many of which, sadly, have now been permanently obliterated from our landscape.
