Threatened species populations in Western Australia are down to only 62% of what they were in 1985.

That means we've lost 38% of our populations in Western Australia.

Share this with others and spread the word of the state of threatened species.

This graph represents the relative change in average population over time.

This graph shows the average change in populations compared to 2017. It shows a relative change and not population numbers themselves. At the reference year, the index gets an index score of one. A score of 1.2 would mean a 20% increase on average compared to the reference year, while a score of 0.8 would mean a 20% decrease on average compared to the reference year. This graph was created using the Threatened Species Index (TSX). Use the TSX interactive data visualiser to mix and match data. Read about how good the index is here.
