Discontinuity is here. Climate and ecological disruptions are having unprecedented impacts in the lives of every person on Earth. And, yes, that has profound security implications. "Nature is a foundation of national security" is exactly right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Periodic reminder that without biodiversity, we’re all doomed. Let’s not brush it aside and focus solely on carbon (obviously critical). Focusing on carbon while sidelining biodiversity is a catastrophic mistake. Biodiversity isn’t optional. It’s fundamental to our very existence.

Offsets are such a bloody stupid idea. The idea of equivalence is false. Pretending to conserve species and habitat while simply carrying out business as usual. Anyone who works in the conservation space knows this 🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Will Labor’s environment laws actually address Australia’s biodiversity crisis? No. They’ll make it worse. The biodiversity crisis is existential for humanity. We can’t afford this 💩 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Africa’s marine protected areas host numerous invasive species, and tapping into global databases and citizen science tools like iNaturalist offers a powerful, low-cost way to track and manage these underwater invasions for the first time. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neob...

Eight of the 13 koalas moved in March died – one more than the government originally claimed Some were left in the forest for six weeks after the first deaths. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

My job, and the jobs of 20 of my Faculty of Science colleagues at Queensland University of Technology, are under threat with a proposal to slash staff. Our work to protect #biodiversity is at stake. In Australia and beyond, please sign this petition to support us 🧪 www.change.org/Save-Our-Sci...

Another individual tragedy. #Koalas are a high profile species but it’s reflective of what little regard we have for our biodiversity in general 🧪 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

The shrew’s extinction increases the tally of Australian mammals extinct since 1788 to 39 species. This is far more than for any other country. These losses represent about 10% of all Australia’s land mammal species before colonisation 🧪 theconversation.com/and-then-the...
