Australia Remastered

While forests only cover 16 percent of Australia's land area, they harbour a higher concentration of animal species than anywhere else on the continent.

Australia is an island continent boasting nearly 35,000km of coastline. Humans come to the seaside to relax, but for tens of thousands of species that live and breed on our coast, it's a battleground.

Australia is the driest inhabited continent on Earth, with 70 percent of the land mass declared an arid zone. Spanning 5 million square kilometres, this zone is one of the most exposed areas on the planet.
