'Uncharted territory' as species likely go extinct in bushfiresSpecies have likely already gone extinct in Australia's catastrophic bushfires and experts warn it may take a decade to find out which ones due to lack of staff and diminishing budgets. I wish the article had have provided some specific examples of what species may have become extinct other than 'some birds'. That's hardly helpful. It's almost like the author or the people interviewed weren't even interested enough to name them. Yet the NSW government is supporting logging native forests - what's left them!!
