 * __ FLORA AND FAUNA __**

The Murray-Darling Basin is home to a large number of different plants and animals. It has at least 35 endangered species of birds, 16 species of endangered mammals and over 35 different native fish species. Unfortunately, 20 species of mammals have already become extinct. Many of the native plants and animals are protected in national parks and other reserves which comprise about 7 percent of the Basin's total area. The Basin has over 30,000 wetlands, some of them listed internationally for their importance to migratory birds who visit the sites and many others within the Basin from other parts of Australia and overseas. This has quite a significant impact on Australia’s flora and fauna problem. A solution that I have thought of is that around the Murray Darling River they make a 1 meter gate to keep the plants and animals away. And outside that gate can be a little yard for the animals and plants to live in which will be provided with water /food and sunlight for the plants. This gate will have about 10 doors so the human racist can come and have a look without being disturbed from the animals. Hopefully my plan can take action J
