25.01.2022 Our colleagues up North fighting to protect the world heritage listed Daintree rainforest. By the way, I’ve met Lucy and she’s definitely not a clown...

25.01.2022 Prescribed burn planning SA style. QLD Government needs to be supporting land managers to undertake rigorous EIAs and environmental asset protection pre and post burn.

23.01.2022 National parks and other protected areas are one of the best ways to conserve nature and protect cultural values.

In 2016 the Queensland Government committed to doubling the area of protected land from around 8% to 17%, but since then, very little has changed. It is imperative that Queensland increases National Parks across the State.

We are joined by Townsville Tree Advocates in calling for a better process that includes community consultation regarding significant, adored trees like these. We can't afford to lose more of our large trees - they are important to our wildlife and our wellbeing and provide relief from our warming tropical climate.

19.01.2022 This is a step in the right direction and it's important to put National Parks and conservation in the spotlight. Much more long-term investment is needed in Queensland's National Parks and regional Ranger jobs (including Indigenous Ranger jobs). When our National Parks are healthy, all Queenslanders benefit. ... https://www.abc.net.au//qld-palaszczuk-government/12729310

13.01.2022 North Queensland desperately needs jobs, and there is always work to be done to manage, improve and rehabilitate our environment. A green recovery benefits everyone.

09.01.2022 Biodiversity Month is a good time to shine a light on our Restoring Bowling Green Bay Wetlands project, funded by the National Landcare Program. Bowling Green ...Bay (BGB) is one of only five wetland sites in Queensland listed under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance. Ramsar is the name of the city in Iran where the convention was signed to recognise wetlands around the world that were especially important according to a range of criteria, such as supporting habitat for water birds and endangered species. BGB is home to nearly 500 species of animal, such as the northern quoll and flatback turtle, and more than 500 species of plant such as the Mt Stuart Ironbark. It is key habitat for migratory shorebirds, such as the eastern curlew.

07.01.2022 Today, over 30 community members gathered at a vigil for two trees that were removed from the Garden of Remembrance. Thank you to the organisers, artists, presenters and attendees.

03.01.2022 What other environmental jobs and initiatives would you like to see invested in as part of our economic recovery?

03.01.2022 Do you remember this day?? Such a shame how little has changed in six years. Public stunts may not change the government's mind, but they do send a strong message and show a community's commitment to a cause. Plus they're super fun.
