05.01.2022 Podcast: A new report titled "The extinction crisis in Australias cities and towns " has just been released. by the Australian Conservation Foundation.

02.01.2022 On this day, August 6 1984, forest defenders kicked off a new round of blockading to prevent the ramming of a 33km four-wheel drive track through the Daintree. ...Faced with activists buried up to six feet deep in the ground, some with their legs chained to concrete slabs and logs, as well as by others chained to a series of fiddlesticks (logs spiked with nails to prevent them being cut with chainsaws), bulldozers were halted for days. Once removed, activists took to tree sits and held out against arrests, heavy fines and attacks by police dogs for a further 3 weeks. Although the Queensland state government and local council triumphed in the short term, destroying much old growth forest in the process, the delays and publicity associated with the blockade played an invaluable role in the campaign against the destruction of old growth ecosystems. The tracks launch in October proved to be embarrassing affair. Even before the wet season had fully arrived a 50 vehicle convoy, including those carrying the Douglas Shire Council mayor and Queenslands Environment Minister, became bogged with eight or nine cars stuck late into the night. Within three months, sections of the road had collapsed 300 metres from its beginning at Cape Tribulation. Despite remaining inaccessible to most vehicles, promised upgrades never eventuated. Following concerted campaigning, World Heritage status and greater protection for over 900,000ha of forests in North Queensland was granted by the federal government four years later.
