Australia has so much unique species that don't live anywhere else in the world. Subjecting them to death by dog or cat would be cruel and stupid. But I would welcome such laws all over the world. Wildlife deserves not to be disturbed, whether it is endemic or not . PS. Englishe isn't my first language so I checked google and this is the first result their AI gave me: adjective (of a disease) regularly occurring within an area or community. (of a plant or animal) native and restricted to a certain place. "a marsupial endemic to north-eastern Australia"
