22.01.2022 They've estimated less than 300 critically endangered swift parrots are left in Tasmania Without urgent habitat protection, we may lose the native species due to severe deforestation and decades of forestry mismanagement. We must demand stronger national environmental laws to protect our wildlife.

21.01.2022 This is fantastic news! ACF has been campaigning for years to stop plans to bulldoze almost 2000 hectares of woodland in a crucial Great Barrier Reef catchment area. Environment Minister Sussan Ley MP today *rejected* the proposal to clear threatened species habitat at Kingvale Station on the Cape York peninsula

20.01.2022 CLIMATE: It's an emergency! NZ: Action stations! Zero carbon by 2050. Let's do this AUSTRALIA: * gives public money to gas and coal *

20.01.2022 Gas is a fossil fuel that drives climate change. Today the Morrison government has given the tick of approval to the controversial Narrabri gas project This plan will wreak havoc on 1,000 hectares of land that includes the Pilliga forest, home to 28 threatened species and precious koala habitat

17.01.2022 What a shocker. Adani has been fined for failing to conduct species surveys before bulldozing vegetation for its coal mine. This is yet another example of Adani’s reckless attitude towards Australia’s environment and law. The $25,000 fine is deeply inadequate and will not prompt a corporation worth billions to change its behaviour

15.01.2022 Gas is no friend to our climate or our Aussie farmers The production of gas will worsen climate change and deplete or contaminate groundwater which is crucial for agriculture. If all Australia's gas reserves were extracted it could unleash up to three times the annual carbon emissions of the entire world. ... Farmers for Climate Action

13.01.2022 The first major report on the impact of bushfires on platypuses finds there was a 14-18% decline in platypus populations in fire-affected areas in the nine months following last summer's catastrophic bushfires On top of extreme weather events, the platypus has had to cope with dams built on rivers, land clearing, attacks by foxes and dogs, pollution and suburban sprawl. Listing the platypus as a threatened species is an important first step towards putting this much-loved Australian on the path to recovery.

12.01.2022 "In the most ambitious energy plan in the country, the NSW government will support the private sector to build $32 billion of renewable energy infrastructure by 2030 as the state faces the end of coal-fired power generation."

11.01.2022 We've just experience the hottest November on record With summer now here, we will be tipping into more frequent extreme weather conditions. To solve this unprecedented climate crisis we must demand a fast and fair transition from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy.
