In it was found that species were at risk of extinction and 55 at high risk. In drier regions, when rain falls on bush much of it is captured by the roots of plants and expired back to the atmosphere. After the bush is cleared the water continues down through earth and adds to ground water. The water table can then rise bringing salt to the surface, causing salinisation, which renders land useless for farming and destroys habitat for species.

This process is causing a salinity crisis across vast areas of farmland, bushland and waterways. Tammar Wallaby footprints in a salt pan. Photo Angela Sanders.
