    Deep Dive: Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek is being sued by a conservation group alleging she is not meeting her legal obligations to protect threatened species.

    The case, brought by The Wilderness Society, focuses on eleven species and an argument that specific plans for their protection aren’t being met.

    The government says it has doubled funding for conservation efforts, but environmental advocates say it’s not enough to prevent extinction. So, can legal action force stronger environmental protections? And does it stand a chance at succeeding?

    In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith speaks with Sam Zukibyrk, Biodiversity Policy and Campaign Manager at The Wilderness Society, to unpack the case and what it could mean for Australia’s wildlife.
