Best Answer

Only some Australian plants are becoming extinct, and these form only a small proportion of native plants. The plants which are in danger of extinction are so mainly because of the introduction of exotic species which push out native species. Also, introduced fauna such as rabbits and stock animals (e.g. Sheep, cattle) have a tendency to eat native grasses and shrubs fit down to the roots, which prevents any regrowth.
