Modern animal extinction gathering pace due to invasive pests - ABC listen

Biosecurity threats loom large over Australia's agricultural industries. But has the quest to try and keep the ag industry clean and green overshadowed the fate of native flora and fauna?

Extinctions are holes torn in the fabric of life, and Australia is ragged from having so many species ripped out.
