‘Increasingly worried’: more than a quarter of a million waterbirds disappear from eastern Australia

“Reversing anthropogenic climate change remains the urgent broad-scale solution” for protecting terrestrial biodiversity from megafires.

Gave the last talk of my PhD at #ESAus2024 on target-based compensation for achieving #biodiversity net gain on Tuesday. In short: only feasible in a few ecoregions with nickel mining in Indonesia, and expansion in the most mined area globally not compatible with 50% intact forest retention 🦤🌏🌐

@martinemaron.bsky.social on the decades long struggle to stop senseless Queensland agricultural land clearing at #ESAus2024 🦤🌏

Ripper of a talk by Brodie Crouch on maintaining brigalow cover in grazing landscapes at #ESAus2024 just now.. in Brodie’s words, “if we had 20% brigalow cover in every paddock we’d be laughing” 🦤 🌏 🐮 🌳

#EXCLUSIVE: Tanya Plibersek had a Nature Positive legislation deal in writing before Anthony Albanese vetoed it without her knowledge.

The New South Wales parliament has passed the “biggest reforms to the biodiversity offsets scheme since its inception” after inquiries triggered by a 2021 Guardian Australia investigation.
