A new study from the University of New South Wales found out kangaroos are overgrazing and it may cause damage in our biodiversity. Surprisingly, the kangaroos’ grazing impacts appeared to be more damaging to the land than rabbits, an introduced species.

The research found out is important to rethink our conservation practices to avoid damage.
