National Geographic Society Australia Under Siege Map. This map is 20" wide x 31" long. From the opening paragraph, "Seen in light of the violent, earth-shattering events that have punctuated other regions throughout time, Australia can seem like a pretty sedate place. In the 50 million years since Australia separated from Antarctica and drifted north, few volcanoes have erupted, few glaciers lave grown, and only low mountains lave risen. Despite its geologic quiet Australia is a biological horn of plenty one of the world's 17 megadiversity countries, according to Conservation International. This endowment, though, is threatened, largely due to Europeans who began arriving in the 18th century. Transforming an alien landscape to be like home, they upset the ecological equilibrium, and the consequences still reverberate today." This item dates to 200 and it is in excellent condition.
