My amazing colleagues @KitaAshman & Dr Michelle Ward were published in Science this month on the extinction risk to greater gliders in Australia.

We need to stop the destruction of their habitats before it's too late https://t.co/vMtgA96Yue

It's beyond time to protect our forests and the animals that live in them. New @WWF_Australia report shows how NSW can phase out of native forest logging to a plantations-based industry.

[Stuart Blanch @blanch_stuart]

$302m to phase out NSW native forest logging. Plus $160m investment in new plantations. #koalas #forests #timber #climate @WWF_Australia https://t.co/z6HntxdW0i

Great to see Australia bid to host COP 31 in partnership with the Pacific. If Australia is serious about hosting a COP, then we need to become a global leader on climate action.

After many years, very pleased to have finally finished my MBA and graduate from @UTS_Business today. Happy days!

Our ad today in @FinancialReview. State, territory & national Environment Ministers meet for the first time in over a year. On the agenda are Australia's nature laws. We're calling on Ministers to support stronger laws & an independent EPA to protect our special places & wildlife

[Katinka Day @KatinkaDay]

Our ad in the @smh today. Thank you @AlboMP & @tanya_plibersek for committing to end species extinctions in Australia. When you meet with Env Ministers tomorrow we ask that you are similarly ambitious and agree to strengthen our nature laws which includes an independent EPA

[Katinka Day @KatinkaDay]

For the first time in over a year, state, territory and federal Environment Ministers will meet on Friday to discuss and agree on how to best protect our environment. Stronger nature laws and an independent EPA are key.

[WWF_Australia @WWF_Australia]

Environment Ministers are meeting this Friday to discuss key #environmental issues. Will they work to achieve better outcomes for people and #nature?

We need strong nature laws to stop the destruction of our native wildlife and the places they call home.

[Katinka Day @KatinkaDay]

Incredible to see a commitment to end threatened species extinction in Australia this morning by @tanya_plibersek at @tarongazoo

[Katinka Day @KatinkaDay]

With only about 4% of soft plastics recycled, I'm happy Vic's investing in recycling of soft plastics. But where is the investment further up the chain to reduce the use of soft plastic in packaging? Innovation in design & reuse need to also be priorities https://t.co/3vRz80Ww05

BREAKING: By 2035, we won’t need coal to power our homes. Queensland will build the biggest pumped hydro in the world. #StateofQLD #qldjobs

[Katinka Day @KatinkaDay]

Wow, this is pretty incredible. Great to see this renewables storage commitment in Vic 🙌☀️

[Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP]

Renewable storage means we can store cheap, renewable energy and then release it when it's needed.

By 2030 our renewable energy storage capacity will provide the same amount of power as Victoria's largest coal-fired generator does now.

[Katinka Day @KatinkaDay]

Great to see @AlboMP today announce Australia will be joining onto the Leaders Pledge for Nature. With this, Australia joins leaders from 90+ countries who pledge to reverse nature and biodiversity loss by 2030 🙌🙌🙌 https://t.co/GJeTkSggzX

My coffee date this morning in Parliament House #NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay

[Katinka Day @KatinkaDay]

It was a pleasure to meet @DavidPocock today to talk about threatened species on #NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay. Australia has some of the most unique plants and wildlife in the world and it's great to see champions for our biodiversity within Government

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Aus has scored an “F” on a new biodiversity report card.
We're failing to halt the decline of many endangered species.
So many of our incredible plants and wildlife are at risk.
Our recovery plans aren't working. We MUST do better.

I am posting live from Canberra on our meetings today. Head to @WWF_Australia's Instagram to check out all the action; https://t.co/gJi5ClYXpx

[Katinka Day @KatinkaDay]

We are in Canberra today for National Threatened Species Day talking to a range of politicians about the need to better protect our wildlife. I brought some friends along to help send the message ;) ⁦@WWF_Australia⁩

[Rachel Lowry @Rachlowry]

When the business sector, environmental charities & unions team-up to shine the spotlight on the opportunity pathway, in an effort to ensure that politics and old world bias don’t limit our nations future.👇 #hope #climateaction #renewablesnation #regenerateaustralia @Bowenchris

[Katinka Day @KatinkaDay]

Incredible to see so much progress on single-use plastic across Australia. Congrats WA, Qld & SA on topping @WWF_Australia's plastic scorecard! @ReeceWhitby @meaghan_scanlon

[WWF_Australia @WWF_Australia]

🎉Great progress happening to #EndPlasticPollution

Qld has moved up our plastics scorecard with the release of a new plan to ban harmful single-use plastics, including disposable coffee cups and lids, cotton buds with plastic stems, and polystyrene packing peanuts.

Indigenous Australians have managed land and sea country for more than 65,000 years.

There is much Australia and the world can learn from their example.'
