23.01.2022 It’s time to take dingoes out of the doghouse. Almost all wild canines in Australia are genetically more than half dingo, a new study led by UNSW Sydney shows suggesting that lethal measures to control ‘wild dog’ populations are primarily targeting dingoes. The study, published today in Australian Mammalogy, collates the results from over 5000 DNA samples of wild canines across the country, making it the largest and most comprehensive dingo data set to date.... The team found that 99 per cent of wild canines tested were pure dingoes or dingo-dominant hybrids (that is, a hybrid canine with more than 50 per cent dingo genes). Of the remaining one per cent, roughly half were dog-dominant hybrids and the other half feral dogs. We don’t have a feral dog problem in Australia, says Dr Kylie Cairns, a conservation biologist from UNSW Science and lead author of the study. They just aren’t established in the wild.

20.01.2022 Australia’s favourite eucalypt has been chosen! Across the country over the last month, almost a thousand Aussies cast their vote for their favourite gum. The 2021 winner is Eucalyptus salubris, also known as a Gimlet Gum, or joorderee by the Ngadju people. It has also been coined ‘Sexy Gum’ by the University of Melbourne’s Dr Michael Whitehead who believes our imaginations need not be held hostage by the stubborn colonialists who named it the gimlet gum. The people have s...poken and they’ve chosen a species that is both splendid and endemic to the largest unfragmented temperate woodlands left in the world: the Great Western Woodlands in Western Australia, said Linda Baird, Eucalypt Australia CEO.

10.01.2022 Even amidst the global economic downturn and climate castophes, fossil fuel financing numbers were higher in 2020 than 2016 Bemidji, M.N. (March 24, 2021)- Released the 12th edition of the most comprehensive report published to date on fossil fuel financing documents an alarming disconnect between the global scientific consensus on climate change and the continued business practices of the world’s largest financial institutions. This year’s report, titled Banking on Climate C...haos 2021, expands its focus from 35 to 60 of the world’s largest banks and reveals that in the 5 years since the Paris Agreement was adopted, these banks have pumped over $3.8 trillion dollars into the fossil fuel industry. The report also concludes that even in the midst of a pandemic-induced recession fossil fuel financing was higher in 2020 than in 2016, a trend that stands in direct opposition to the paris Agreement’s stated goal of rapidly reducing carbon emissions to ensure an under 2, as close as possible to 1.5 Celsius maximum global temperature rise.
