Due to the great age of the continent, the little fertility of its grounds, its different extremely variable climates and his prolonged isolation from the rest of the continents, the Australian biota is unique and diverse. Around 85% of the plants with flower, 84% of the mammals, more of 45% of the birds, and 90% of the fish of the tempered coastal zones are endemic. Many of the ecorregiones of Australia and the native species that live in them is threatened by the human activities and the introduction of exotic species. The Act of Environmental protection and Conservation of the Biodiversity of 1999 is the used legal frame for the protection of the threatened species. Numerous protected areas have been created by the Plan of Action of the Biodiversity to protect and to conserve the unique ecosystems of the continent; moist soils are registered under the Agreement of Ramsar and exist in addition 16 declared sites World-wide Patrimony to the Humanity.
