On 13 September 2024 NPR (National Public Radio) reported: In Australia, unique species abound -- from koalas and kangaroos to wombats and emus. Now, the western laughing frog and a spider named for Tom Hardy are among the 750 new species recognized on the continent. Melbourne-based wildlife ecologist Euan Ritchie says 750 new species may sound like a lot, but that number is just the tip of the iceberg. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of science, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

'The reality is we think as much as 70 percent of Australia's native species remain 'to be described',' Ritchie says.

...'I think everyone loves the laughing frog, which basically has a call that sounds more like a laugh rather than what you might associate traditionally with a frog -- more of a croak or ribbit,' Ritchie says.

...Ritchie says the work of research and conservation is particularly important now as climate change and habitat destruction threaten Australia's biodiversity.

On Sept. 8, the Australian government announced 14 new projects, with $2 million in funding, to continue to name and classify native Australian species.
