@tanya_plibersek How insulting.

@HugePossum This is wonderful. Well done bird-loving professor!

@D0CT0R_Dave Hi David. Was it you who was interviewed for the Glossy Black Cockatoo article recently? If so, how can I contact you?

“It is estimated that within just 4 million years, and provided humans are completely extinct, biodiversity on the planet may recover fully from the 6th Mass Extinction.  Earth can, and will, continue without humans. Humans cannot continue without Earth” #ecology #amwriting

[Guy Ballard @DingoResearch]

A dog walk took me through the local #cemetery today. Couldn’t help but think it’s a shame we haven’t broadly embraced memorial forests / woodlands. A native tree for every person seems a much better use of land than this.

Binburra/ Lee Point, right now.

OMG this is fabulous !

What happens when a remote camera gets set at Rail height in a farm paddock?

THEY TALK TO THE CAMERA !!!!

River regulation in Australia... Downstream of a large dam at 98% capacity but no water being released to support freshwater species. Guess no platypuses here anymore...

@ChrisMinnsMP We were expecting some respite from the Liberals' onslaught on the environment, not your push for even more immigration and more high-density housing. We missed the bit where you asked Dominic to hold your beer.

@kary_cee @savesydneykoala @tanya_plibersek It's no surprise that they will do what the legislation allows them to do. It's the legislation that needs to be revisited.

[Elizabeth Carter @bunyipbait]

@savesydneykoala @tanya_plibersek A 'housing crisis' is not what is sending our native species extinct, but the endless quest for growth using the simplest and laziest approach, immigration. Our politicians must begin planning beyond their own terms, and begin to do things better.

[Dr Kylie Cairns @dr_cairns]

It’s time for a re-think about how we are managing dingoes in Australia. Currently our largest native (land) predator is not protected in National Parks. @tanya_plibersek “wild dog” baiting programs carried out during breeding season can kill up to 90% of the dingo population.

“ms berejiklian gave evidence to the inquiry that she believed she was not required to follow the ministerial code of conduct because a premier was not a minister.”

Some interesting fruiting bodies of #Fungi you’ll find in undisturbed old growth forests of #Tasmania

Clavaria, zollingeri
&
Clavulinopsis, sulcata.

Visible from February to June, both around 10cm in height with- ‘Hey look at me’ colour & design.

[Elizabeth Carter @bunyipbait]

@Matt_KeanMP "...Berejiklian’s conduct, while it constitutes or involves a substantial breach of the ministerial code, is not so serious as to merit criminal punishment".

Matt, no matter how much you would like to, you cannot frame this any other way.

[Save Sydney's Koalas @savesydneykoala]

@YungEnChee1 @AFCA_Forests @_LisaMCox @Matt_KeanMP @lendlease biobank site Noorumba Reserve Mt Gilead ( their Figtree Hill development)

Polluted by erosion from LL earthworks for over a year

LL plan to bio bank it again for their proposed Stage 2 development

This is what offsets look like

[Sue Higginson 🌳 Greens MP @SueHigginson_]

This is Braemar State Forest. The NSW Govt is about to log it. It’s koala habitat & koalas live here (only just). Around 70% of the koala population was wiped out by the19/20 black summer fires! They’ll be extinct 2050. It’ll cost taxpayers to log it. #koalas #extinction #nswpol

Below are the two most important metrics of our time. Top: the decline of biodiversity between 1970-2018. Below: global temperatures between 1850-2022.
