"Save the #BlackCockatoos spokesman Paddy Cullen said a state plan to replant 2000 hectares of pines with native vegetation would leave a 10 year gap while this food source became viable, leaving the birds to starve in the interim"

Well, it took a year of chasing, first to confirm @SantosLtd did have a big oil spill off WA, then to show dolphins died, and now courtesy of a whistleblower report tabled by @DavidPocock here are the photos. Way too many incidents at Varanus Island.

US miner @Alcoa removes WA's jarrah forests under a 1961 deal with the WA govt that has little oversight or transparency. At the time the amount of mining envisaged was tiny & climate change had not started its damage. The deal is no longer fit for purpose

Pushing on through at Gelorup - Tuart and Banksia Woodlands are classified as Threatened Ecological Communities and Matters of National Environmental Significance. It's not too late to build a better BORR, Minister @tanya_plibersek and @albo 💚

Another day, another WA road that will save drivers 15 minutes and ruin habitat. Save the critically endangered ringtail possum from disappearing forever! - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/Ve806B6z6k via @ChangeAUS
Hold Alcoa to account! Their proposal to clear another 9,273 ha of Jarrah Forest is now before the EPBC. Here is our easy guide to ensure the proposal is assessed at the highest level! 🍃 EPBC portal: https://t.co/9ppfWvWP26

@BradbyKeith@GeorgeMonbiot NFPs operate on skeleton staffs due to a weaker culture of philanthropy in Aus. The grassroots groups harness the large bases that want change. When you don’t get paid, there is less to lose which is why volunteer activists are both formidable and resistant to influence.
Alcoa and South32 want to expand mass clearing and strip mining in the northern jarrah forest, which is at risk of collapse according to the International Panel on Climate Change. By @petedekruijff https://t.co/hGkYvIjVe1 #perthnews#wanews
Great to see this paper on community led land management out👇 (in my unbiased opinion). Hoping the new Labor Government helps us put the care back into landcare, and moves beyond utilitarian 'natural resource management' where community gets treated like a service provider.
It's out! Our paper on 'Community-led land management: historical perspectives, future prospects' conceptualises landcare, Indigenous rangers, 'friends of' groups and more as part of a broader social movement characterised by grassroots leadership 1/3 https://t.co/iQZfdjU1lF
@mareserinitatis The best way to help those potential students is to arm them with a list of questions they should ask a future advisor, ones you know will show up the problem directly.
