13 species, including the pig-nosed turtle, have been added to Australia's threatened species list due to habitat loss, climate change, disease, and water extraction. The pig-nosed turtle is the last species in its family and faces challenges due to limited range and low genetic diversity. Australia's current environmental laws are insufficient, and stronger measures are necessary to protect wildlife.
