Yet another Australian extinction - www.theguardian.com/environment/.... Ironically the federal government is still allowing the destruction of the habitat for nationally listed threatened species - species such as the Eyre Peninsula southern emuwren and koala #biodiversity #murraywatt

Ok, here’s my starter pack! go.bsky.app/4ASwaLv Non-exhaustive list!

“Positive talks” with the Coalition while “even the select group of environment and industry lobby groups who meet weekly with Watt to discuss EPBC reform are yet to see draft legislation”. Albanese and Watt are shitting on us, folks.

New blog: As a grant peer reviewer I consider Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) even if the scheme doesn't list EDI criteria. Key is to tie the selection criteria to EDI. This is how I do it mathemagicalconservation.wordpress.com/2025/09/23/a... @katehelmstedt.bsky.social @hugepossum.bsky.social

Excellent advice from Hugh Possingham on monitoring conservation projects and why most Monitoring and Evaluation is flawed. youtu.be/qa6Ewt-W5mU?...

We illustrate this with the Putumayo Trinational Corridor (Colombia, Ecuador & Peru). There, structured decision-making helped align shared goals and coordinate transboundary actions to conserve biodiversity while strengthening local communities.

Imagine an Amazon where nations work together, rivers still fly moisture to the Andes, jaguars roam safely, and Indigenous voices guide decisions. 🌿✨ Our new @pnas.org piece explores how this future can be real. 🔗 doi.org/10.1073/pnas... 🧵👇 ¡Arículo en español en el material suplementario!

Natalie Kyriacou is the founder of the environmental organization My Green World, and has speaks on this episode of Mongabay’s podcast about the aim of the book, her thoughts on real solutions to our ecological problems, what she wishes more people understood about nature.

Congestion charging in London caused an average of 7% drop in car ownership in affected areas (outer London near the charging boundary). If we want fewer cars in our streets, and all the benefits that brings, this is one of the tools that we know works. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

"Air pollution from oil and gas causes more than 90,000 premature deaths and sickens hundreds of thousands of people across the US each year, a new study shows..." If MAHA were anything other than dipshit reactionary fantasies & conspiracy theories, it would focus overwhelmingly on air pollution.

September 19 and 20, I’ll be joining a fab group of speakers at the second GROUNDED festival. Part scientific conference, part field day, part food festival. There are so many win-wins in the agriculture and environment space—come along and help celebrate them! groundedaustralia.com.au

Is Labour betraying its own members? youtu.be/RZ9Er3rLUGU?... Labour members want progressive change – from scrapping the two-child cap to stopping arms sales to Israel. The leadership is ignoring them. This video asks: what is Labour afraid of, and what must change?

"Felicity Wade, the national co-convener of the Labor Environment Action Network, was confident Watt could “walk the line”, listening to business without losing sight of why the legislation existed." Not exactly words that inspire confidence... #EPBC

AUKUS: I cannot recall any other government policy around which there has been so much condemnation from so many voices across the defence and security spectrum, for the governments of both persuasions to so blithely ignore that opposition. These are people who know what they’re talking about.

Why isn’t nuclear energy a good option as we transition away from fossil fuels? As @hugepossum.bsky.social said to Steve Austin on ABC Brisbane, it could have been if we started in the 1970’s, but we are 50 years too late to start down that path today.
