Our Wildlife in Peril is a compelling work of Australian natural history produced by the Endangered Species Committee of the Total Environment Centre, with illustrations by Dorothy Doughty. The book chronicles the plight of Australia's most vulnerable native animals, presenting an urgent and authoritative account of the species facing extinction due to habitat destruction, introduced predators, and human encroachment. Each entry details the biology, behaviour, and conservation status of individual species, making it both an essential reference and a passionate call to action. Written with scientific rigour yet accessible to a general audience, it illustrates the fragile relationship between Australia's unique fauna and the rapidly changing landscapes they inhabit. A vital document in the history of Australian wildlife conservation, it argues powerfully for the protection of the continent's irreplaceable biodiversity.
