A new report warns that Australia's native wildlife could see disastrous effects from nonnative plants and animals.Experts at the national science agency, the CSIRO, are predicting much of the country's native plants and animals are in danger.They believe they could disappear by 2050 unless urgent action is taken.Nonnative species have invaded Australia and threaten to overrun native plants and animals.Invasive animals include European rabbits, which overrun two-thirds of Australia, wild house cats, pigs, and foxes.Introduced species are endangering more than 80 percent of Australia's threatened species.The report is called Fighting Plagues and Predators: Australia's Path Towards a Pest and Weed-Free Future.It notes what researchers believe is an upcoming "… wave of new extinctions."
