19.01.2022 A native to Central and South America, Amazon Frogbit (limnobium laevigatum) has recently been detected at Lake Kurwongbah. It can rapidly invade and smother waterways and is a serious biosecurity threat. Plants can form into large mats of runners and adult plants can develop very quickly. Juvenile plants have a great capacity for distribution in that they are small and can be easily and quickly carried along by water currents. Mature plants can be mistaken for Water Hyacint...h. An easy way to distinguish juvenile Frogbit from other aquatic species is by the leaves, which are often swollen on the underside (a bit like a sponge) and float lying flat on the water surface. As the leaves mature they lose their spongy underside, become more oval shaped and can extend up to 50 cm above the water. Impacts? Frogbit is a fast growing, floating freshwater weed that: forms large dense mats across the water's surface prevents native water plants from growing reduces light, food and shelter for fish and other aquatic animals can block waterways and irrigation channels creates dangerous conditions by hiding the water surface and making it appear like firm ground can limit recreational activities such as fishing, swimming or boating.

17.01.2022 It's not koalas . . . but these guys (cane toads) kill a lot of wildlife and this is the best way of getting rid of them.

12.01.2022 We can't continue along the road to extinction. Nature needs an Environment Minister that protects it first - not big corporations. The power is yours - tell Sussan Ley to be the environment minister nature needs.

09.01.2022 Spot the feral. These images, captured with motion sensor cameras by Olkola Rangers working with Bush Heritage Australia, are the first images of the endangered Alwal or golden-shouldered parrot being preyed on by a feral cat. Indigenous rangers' work to tackle the feral animals across millions of hectares of Queensland show exactly why we need more ranger jobs to protect more of our special wildlife.... Join us in calling for the Queensland pollies to get behind Indigenous rangers by signing this petition. PS - Country Needs People is a non-partisan organisation - we reckon Indigenous rangers are something all sides of politics should get behind.

08.01.2022 Will you take 1 minute to send a message to your local politician and urge them to stop the extinction crisis facing our Aussie wildlife? Unless urgent action is taken now, our east coast koalas could be gone by 2050. They need you now more than ever.

07.01.2022 KOALAS SOLD OUT FOR COAL Sadly, Australian environmental laws have failed time and time again in protecting our incredible wildlife. And it's going from bad to worse. A new agreement will allow the coal industry to BULLDOZE endangered habitat before a replacement home for the displaced Koalas is found. There won’t even be any legal consequences for making the koala homeless in the meantime.... Without opening your wallet, you can raise 50c for Greenpeace Australia Pacific by taking our 2 minute survey. When you act to protect our iconic koala, you help stop their steady slide to extinction. Stopping the coal industry from recklessly endangering our precious Australian wildlife without consequence takes 2 minutes of your time today. We can’t lose our beloved national icon to coal. Stand up for koalas today and help Greenpeace push for a new generation of environmental laws with this 2 minute survey.

06.01.2022 WILDLIFE AT RISK IN OUR OUTBACK The SA Govt is proposing a new Pastoral Bill, which places the pastoral industry over all other land-uses, and ignores the needs of wildlife conservation, ecosystem sustainability and tourism. Community consultation has been poorly-advertised, with around 200 responses, 40% from the pastoral industry, and totally failed to engage traditional owners, tourism operators, outback travellers and other legitimate interests. Biodiversity conservation... and ecosystem sustainability were key issues identified in the consultation, yet the word ‘Conservation’ has been removed from the title, and the bill itself does not mention biodiversity or conservation, clearly stating that pastoral interests are prioritized. The SA Pastoral Act administers a huge area of the country, 40% of the State of SA, and 2/3 of the SA Outback Region, 400,000 sq km (nearly six times the size of Tasmania), but contributes less than 2% of SA agricultural income. The pastoral industry claims that they are ‘best placed’ to manage these lands, but 18 mammal extinctions from the SA pastoral lands indicates major damage to ecosystems over the last 100 years, not justification for handing them permanent tenure. Many of these mammals were totem animals for indigenous people, so their loss also represents annihilation of culture. A number of reptile and bird species are also vulnerable in our outback regions. We need more and better consideration of biodiversity conservation in our Outback Region, not less, as this new Bill will set in place for at least 100 years. We believe that any real concerns of the pastoral industry can be addressed by minor amendments to the current 1989 Act. We are calling for this Bill to be dropped. Most of the concerns of pastoralists can be addressed by amendments to the 1989 Act. Any changes should occur only after consultation with a much broader group, including traditional owners and tourism operators.Our petition just passed 6800 signatures ! If you have not done so already, please sign & pass on to colleagues

04.01.2022 Lantana prevents access to koala food trees and other natives by any arboreal species, its prevents natural regeneration and should be considered a noxious weed requiring clearing using a mosaic methodology.

03.01.2022 KAI provided $8,000 to Bonnie Quigley and the USC to undertake research on specific eucalypt leaves being used to reduce the impact of the Koala Retrovirus (KoRV) on the local koala population. The extended clip is the most informative even though it is longer. https://academic.oup.com/femsre/article/44/5/583/5859487 I would like to ask for donations to be provided via the website in order to further fund research activities that benefit koalas and that if desired a tax deductible receipt can be emailed or posted to the donor upon request.
