2. Australia has many unique ancient creatures and is known as the "World Museum of Living Fossils". According to statistics, there are 12000 species of plants in Australia, and there are 9000 species not found in other countries. There are 650 species of birds here, 450 of which are endemic to Australia. Most marsupials in the world are distributed in Australia, except South America. Australia's endemic organisms are ancient biological species preserved during the evolution of the earth. Although they seem primitive, they have become living fossils for human beings to study the evolution history of the earth. Emu appears on the national emblem of Australia. It is the largest bird in Australia. Emu is one of the largest land birds in the world and one of the oldest birds in the world. It is the only remaining species in the order Ostrich. Koala
Koala, also known as koala or koala, is one of the endemic animals in Australia. It is not only Australia's national treasure, but also a precious primitive arboreal animal unique to Australia. It belongs to koala family, a marsupial, which is distributed in eucalyptus forest area in southeast Australia. The platypus is a single-celled mammal in Australia. The platypus is an animal that appears on a quarter coin in Australia. They are distributed between Cape York in eastern Australia and South Australia, and also inhabit Tasmania. The white high-protein snack of moth larvae is actually moth larvae, which is an important insect dish in the desert area of Australia and was once the staple food of local aborigines. Kangaroos are native to mainland Australia and parts of Papua New Guinea. Some species are unique to Australia. All kangaroos in Australia, except those in zoos and wildlife parks, live in the wild. Different kinds of kangaroos live in different natural environments in Australia, from rainforests and desert plains with cool climate to tropical regions. All kangaroos, big or small, have one thing in common: their long hind legs are strong and powerful. Kangaroos jump instead of running, and the jumping distance is as high as 4 meters, up to 13 meters, which can be said to be the longest.
Rabbits in Australia (6) Dozens of rabbits were transported to Australia by the Australian fleet and were originally introduced as edible meat. Later, some wealthy families put rabbits in nature as hunting and let them escape to the grassland to breed rapidly. 1950, the number of rabbits in Australia is estimated to reach 600 million, destroying vegetation and causing soil erosion. Grassland and animal husbandry have been destroyed for a long time. Australia has used various methods to reduce the number of rabbits. 199 1 year, the number of rabbits in Australia has dropped to about 300 million. Environment Australia has reached an agreement with the European Union to connect their carbon emissions trading system. According to this agreement, the carbon emission trading systems of the two sides will start docking on July 20 15 1 day. The docking will be completed before July 1 day, 2065438, that is, the two sides mutually recognize the carbon emission share. According to the carbon tax policy implemented by the Australian government on July 20 12 1 day, the 500 enterprises with the largest greenhouse gas emissions in Australia paid 23 per ton of carbon dioxide emissions from July 20 12 to July 20 13. This fee will gradually increase in the next two years. In order to connect with the EU trading system, the Australian government will make two adjustments to the existing carbon emissions trading system. One is to cancel the lowest price of A $0/5 per ton/kloc, and the other is to limit the emission share within the framework of Kyoto Protocol. Australia has developed agriculture and animal husbandry, and is the country with the largest export of sheep and wool in the world. So it is called "riding on the back of a sheep". Australia has developed agriculture and animal husbandry according to local conditions by taking advantage of natural conditions in different regions, forming four different agriculture and animal husbandry areas. See p74 Figure 8.37. Australia is also a country with a vast territory and a sparse population, with large farms, high mechanization of agricultural and animal husbandry production and advanced production technology. Most of the main agricultural products are exported. Besides wool, Australia is also an important beef producing area in the world.
4. Australia is rich in mineral resources and is one of the major exporters of mineral products in the world. The export volume of mineral products accounts for a large proportion of the total export volume, and it is called a country sitting on a mine car. Since the 20th century, Australia's service industry has greatly surpassed agriculture, animal husbandry and industrial mining, and has become the leading industry in Australia.
4. The population and cities of Australia are mainly distributed in the southeast coastal areas, with Canberra as the capital, Sydney as the largest industrial center and port city in China and Melbourne as the second largest city in China.
Sydney is the largest city and port in Australia, Oceania and the southern hemisphere, and is recognized as one of the top ten most prosperous international metropolises in the world.

Sydney Futures Exchange is the largest futures market in the world 12 and the largest futures and options market in 19.
Melbourne, Australia's second largest city, is one of the bustling international metropolises. Melbourne is the capital of Victoria, with a green area of 40%. Greater Melbourne covers an area of 3,400 square miles (8,806 square kilometers) and is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world. Melbourne has been rated as the most suitable city for human habitation by UN-Habitat for many years. Melbourne was awarded the title of livable city in 20 1 1, 20 12 and 20 13.
From 185 1 to 1860, due to the discovery of gold mines near Melbourne, the population soared, and Melbourne quickly became a rare bustling city in the British Empire and even in the world at that time, and thus got the nickname "New Golden Mountain".
Today, Melbourne has the reputation of "Australia's cultural capital" and is Australia's cultural and industrial center. Melbourne is also a fashion capital, leading Australia in fashion, art, music, TV production, film and dance, and even influential in some parts of the world.
Melbourne is the first city in the southern hemisphere to host the Summer Olympics. The annual Australian Open, F 1 Racing Australia Sub-race and the world-famous Melbourne Cup horse race are all held in Melbourne.
