Australia’s Fauna
1. Marsupials: They are certainly the most famous Australian animals! A distinctive
characteristic is that most of the young are carried in a pouch. That is of course the case of
kangaroos.
2. Monotremes: They are probably the most exotic animals of Australia, a transitory group
between mammals and reptils! You have certainly heard about the platypus, this crazy
mammal with a duck beak
3. Placentals Dingoes are the largest terrestrial predator in Australia. They play an important
role as an apex predator. However, they are seen as a pest by farmers, due to attacks on
animals.
Australia’s Flora
Australia has a huge diversity of plants (27 700 plant species according to the last studies), due
to the fact that the country is huge and the climate is different from one region to another. From
the rainforests of the North Queensland to the dry vegetation of the Red Centre, from the
temperate plains of the NSW to the forests of Tasmania, diversity seems to have no limit.
One of the best-known Australian tree is the Eucalyptus. More than 2 500 species of Eucalyptus
are represented in Australia
Australia’s economy
The economy of Australia is a highly developed mixed economy. As of 2021, Australia was
the 12th-largest national economy by nominal GDP (Gross Domestic Product) the 18th-largest
by PPP-adjusted(Purchasing Power Parity) is the measurement of prices in different countries
that uses the prices of specific goods to compare the absolute purchasing power of the

importer

GDP and employed 78.8% of the labour force. Australia has the tenth-highest total estimated
value of natural resources, valued at US$19.9 trillion in 2019
DISASTER RISK ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE
• natural disasters are the consequences of events triggered by natural hazards that
overwhelm local response capacity and seriously affect the social and economic
development of a region
The scientific evidence 2 shows that for disasters, climate change poses a double threat
Firstly, increases are expected in the frequency and intensity of weather and climatic hazards, such as floods,
tropical cyclones, heatwaves and droughts (and in some places are already occurring)
Secondly, there are likely to be other changes such as ecosystem degradation, reduced availability of water
and food, and impacts on livelihoods, which together will reduce the capacities of communities to cope with
natural hazards, especially in poor developing countries.
