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."

"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."

https://biodiversitycouncil.org.au/news/what-s-in-the-2025-26-federal-budget-for-nature"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."

Borneo endemics: Proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus) occur only on Borneo. They seasonally switch between eating fruit and leaves. To digest their cellulose-rich diet, they have complex, chambered stomachs that rely on symbiotic bacteria for digestion. The large nose is an acoustic resonance chamber.
