Australia’s unique mammal fauna is a rich biological heritage for the nation. It provides a wealth of ecosystem services, and many mammal species have special cultural or aesthetic value. However, our mammals are sadly depleted, and we already have the worst record of recent mammal extinction of any nation. Preventing further mammal extinctions, and managing environments to allow declined mammals to recover, will be of great benefit to Australian biodiversity and to the ecosystem processes and human values that depend on it.

澳大利亚独特的哺乳动物群是该国丰富的生物遗产。它提供了丰富的生态系统服务，许多哺乳动物物种具有特殊的文化或美学价值。然而，令人遗憾的是，我们的哺乳动物正在枯竭，我们已经有了任何国家最近哺乳动物灭绝的最糟糕记录。防止进一步的哺乳动物灭绝，并管理环境，让下降的哺乳动物恢复，将对澳大利亚的生物多样性和生态系统进程以及依赖于它的人类价值观大有裨益。
