These front pages today tell just part of the harrowing story in the State of the Environment report.

After a decade of govt inaction + wilful ignorance, now is the time to read this report + take action.

I look forward to outlining our govt’s plans at @PressClubAust today.

@DrEmmaLJohnston on Australia’s State of the Environment report: “…in all aspects, the outlook is deteriorating”. We can do better, Australia!

[Tanya Plibersek @tanya_plibersek]

Australia has lost more mammal species to extinction than any other continent - that’s just one of the shocking findings in the report.

It’s time to put an end to the decade of neglect.

A truly global framework for biodiversity conservation must engage and activate all of society; effective implementation will depend on the involvement of all stakeholders / rightsholders

Our relationship with nature is broken. To fix it, we need a new blueprint.

I’m humbled to be a part of the Open-ended Working Group meeting to advance the #post2020 global #biodiversity framework.

I recognise the unbroken connection of First Nations People to country despite all the odds, and their continuing efforts to keep nature, people, language and culture living strong. I'm committed to working with First Nations People and others to conserve wildlife and country.
