The bogong moth population has now been declared endangered, it joins 124 Australian species now added to the the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) "Red List of Threatened Species".
Jess Abrahams from the Australian Conservation Foundation says “we need serious action on climate change” citing many habitats of the animals have drastically changed due to flooding and droughts.
Ms Abrahams says the list should be a wake-up call for the government that more action is needed.
