Sydney Harbour to the skyline in the sunset - wundabar

Accurate.

I found someone who loves me the way that my dog loves me, and it turns out to be my dog.

Mid April in Australia, Long Reef Beach is still being patrolled even though people are not as keen to surf.....my favourite time of the year beachside

PJK just spot on regarding the Australian version of the Orange Menace....

I am not a Catholic (and the Church has been at the center of some doosie scandals recently) but, I like Pope Leo - onwards and upwards Pope 😇

There's no real need for any gentle finessing from Diamond when feeding Girri now. Girri turns 18 days old today. Fledging at this nest typically occurs at around the 43 days mark—a bit earlier for males, sometimes a bit later for females. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

Excellent video - watch! Al Gore speaks at COP30 in Brazil.

🫎 A flurry of superpower-style signaling from Washington and Moscow over the war in Ukraine led to the first US-Russian summit in four years, but on the ground in Alaska there was a mix of the bizarre, the peculiar and even moose and a bear reut.rs/41DBomi

150 years ago today, the last known Rodrigues parakeet died. It - and one other specimen - is now in @zoologymuseum.bsky.social: the only physical evidence the species ever existed. I wrote about them & the importance of #museums in our knowledge of #extinction: theconversation.com/the-rodrigue...

Peatlands cover just 3% of land but store about twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests, making them unsung heroes in the battle against climate change. For #WorldBogDay, here are seven key things you should know about these vital ecosystems. www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Happy looking bicycle I found at the shops

Great artist

I will forever be haunted by this footage. Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity. What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives. 🌎🦑🧪

A global race to secure critical minerals is placing environmental protections and Indigenous rights at risk, experts have warned at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII).

Remembering when PM @albomp.bsky.social & Gas Minister Madeleine King celebrated Asia Pacific LNG's 1000th cargo & congratulated APLNG partners Conoco Phillips, Origin Energy & Sinopec during the Great Barrier Reef's mass coral bleaching event in 2024 (that was the 5th in 8 years) #AusVotes25

Uniter “I believe in academic freedom”~Steve Kerr “They should not be shaken down & told what to teach, what to say by our gov’t. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard…. So yes, this is me supporting Harvard…. Way to stand up to the bully!” #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory #ResistanceUnited

A look at the (pre-)historical underpinnings of the superlative biodiversity found in Papua New Guinea's Torricelli Mountains, as well as the threats species there face and the moves to protect them, @mongabay.bsky.social: news.mongabay.com/2025/03/pngs...

There's always some shit going on with old mate. Full article here: chaser.com.au/general-news...

Who doesn't love bum-breathing turtles? Well, our government, actually. Like so many threatened species, the Mary River turtle is in big trouble. Wonderful story from @lisacox.bsky.social. Give Marilyn Connell a medal, give all conservation champions medals! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

96% of Australians want more done to protect nature. Meanwhile, just 0.06% of the budget went to on-ground biodiversity programs. We’re losing species we love & major parties are sleepwalking through it. Australians care. It’s time politicians did too. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Solved the microplastics problem

At the risk of repeating myself: Plastics are stopping plants photosynthesising and all the bees are dying. And I wonder how long you plan to let fossil fuel companies get away with it www.cbsnews.com/news/bee-dea...

So old mate - full of swagger and with creast erect - March into a Woolies loading dock demanding a packet of Arnott biscuits.....cocky indeed.

Wilcox!

Important @thegeckoproject.org investigation of massive land grab & mass deforestation of Indigenous lands in Papua, by the Indonesian govt for a "food estate" program "The scheme is so large, activists believe that it could lead to more deforestation than any other single project in the world."

As Orwell predicted.

“If they would rather die they had better do it and decrease the surplus population”. Scrooge without the capacity for redemption. 😞

Let’s go for it! Tell everyone you know to join @bsky.app and TOGETHER let’s send them packing

Environment Minister Tanya Plibsersek is being taken to federal court by a conservation group over failure to list recovery plans for 11 threatened species.

Instead of slowing down, human destruction of the natural world is accelerating, and biodiversity is now declining faster than at any time in human history. The vast majority of us value nature. Why does that so rarely translate into policy, and effective action? theconversation.com/with-just-5-...

"More distasteful than President Donald Trump’s incessant lying is what the lies indicate: After years of yelling that the 'Russia hoax' was a witch hunt, Trump is now openly colluding with Vladimir Putin." ICYMI @ninajankowicz.com on Trump's Russia disinformation:

Most conservation funds go to large vertebrates at expense of ‘neglected’ species

Good morning. Fantastic light yesterday afternoon.

#USAID cuts have been justified on the grounds of furthering America’s interests & global standing. But the cuts do not reflect an accurate or holistic description of those interests or that standing. A narrow version of “America First” risks putting America last.’ www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/21/d...

Remember, it's #TheirABC. It stopped being Ours more than 10 yrs ago. 😐

This is absolutely devastating. Ningaloo-based photographer @brookepykephotography shared these images of extensive bleaching in the Ningaloo World Heritage Area this week. 🧵

The Yindjibarndi Ngurra Aboriginal Corporation filed a landmark case against Western Australia’s state government for allowing Fortesxue to misuse ancestral Lands without a land use agreement www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/...

This episode of Untold Earth on PBS Terra explores the seeming impossibilities behind our planet’s strangest, most unique natural wonders. This is not a forest but a single tree.

Dutton's plan is very simply to massively increase the burning of coal, oil and gas in Australia over the coming years. It'll make bills even worse, it'll cause choking air pollution and catastrophic climate impacts, and make reducing blackout duration much harder. Pretty simple

Look at this adorable baby orange-bellied parrot and its fluffy head 🪶🥰

Repeating the past under Peter Dutton. Government contracts for consultancy services rise as the public service declines. Tony Abbott's "budget emergency" saw personnel costs rise from $9.9b to $21.7b & contract costs from $286.5m to $418.4m. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

BIRDS senses shattered by loss she staggers to follow bird song, trust nature. chirping red-browed finches lead to water ringneck parrots place berries in her path, trust nature...

Beware of headlines that end in a question mark. The answer is invariably NO.

Macklemore’s new release ‘Fucked Up’ Calls out genocide of Palestinians, Trump, Musk & more🔥🔥🔥 Massive Fucking Respect✊

Many birds-of-paradise species emit light through their plumage, study finds

Sam Kerr 12 - London DPP and Police 0 - well done Sam. Common sense prevails.
