Tim tells the story of every animal loss since 1960 in his report Gone: Australian animals extinct since the 1960s, co-authored with Carol Booth. On Christmas Island he saw the last forest skink in captivity a few months before its death in 2014 terminated the species. Published by the Invasive Species Council, the report was featured on ABC TV News and online, and mentioned in the Sydney Morning Herald. It notes that invasive species are causing a large majority of modern extinctions. Asian wolf snakes, for example, are blamed for four island extinctions since 2009 including that of the Christmas Island pipistrelle, a small bat.
