  1. Australia has one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world
    It also has the highest loss of mammal species anywhere in the world

    "Almost three-quarters of Australian households own a pet...In the 12 months to March, owners spent an estimated $21.3bn on their pets, with food representing almost half of that spend."

    What’s in the 2025-26 federal budget for nature?
    "Australia's direct government spending on on-ground biodiversity programs was around $474 million in 2025-26, but this figure is forecast to drop significantly in subsequent years, making it a temporary election-year increase. While this is the specific government investment, experts argue it's far below the necessary amount, with figures like $1.69 billion annually needed to address threatened species recovery and around $2 billion annually needed for ecosystem restoration and management."

    "Australia needs to spend around $15.6 billion per year for 30 years to prevent the extinction of 99 priority species, a figure derived from a 2025 study, but current federal budget allocations fall significantly short of this amount. Studies show Australia currently spends far less, estimated at approximately $122 million per year, and environmental groups consider this insufficient to combat the extinction crisis."
