17.01.2022 How are your 'spidey senses'? Can you tell a Children's python from a diamond python and a woma from a tiger snake? If you have a thing for crawly, slithery, venomous or just plain misunderstood critters, check out the new Critterpedia app from CSIRO. It hopes to quickly identify 170-plus species of Australian snakes and 2000-odd species of Aussie spiders all from ID-ing user-added photographs. Submit your own snaps of some of our most notorious animals to help it function wi...th greater accuracy. "Scientists have put out a public call for beta-testers to submit photos to complement the hundreds of thousands, provided by 30 snake and spider experts, that have already been used to train the system’s AI algorithm." https://ia.acs.org.au/article/2020/what-spider-is-that-.html

15.01.2022 'AT A TIME when Australia’s wildlife and environment are in desperate need of major policy changes which address the catastrophes as a result of bushfires and d...rought, the Morrison Government is hell-bent on reintroducing a one-stop shop environmental approval system,' writes Sue Arnold for The Independent. ... 'Under the streamlined arrangements, impacts on the following matters protected under Part 3 of the EPBC Act will be assessed solely through the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA): - World Heritage properties (with the exception of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area); - National Heritage places; - wetlands of international importance; - listed threatened species and ecological communities; - listed migratory species; and - Commonwealth marine area. ' If conducted in accordance with the Program, petroleum activities such as seismic, drilling and production accepted under NOPSEMA’s processes no longer require assessment and approval under the EPBC Act.Marine creatures including whales, inshore dolphins, dugongs, turtles, listed migratory species and listed threatened species will no longer have the protection of the EPBC Act but are now protected by an authority which basically represents the oil and gas industry.' https://independentaustralia.net//government-eager-to-rein '

08.01.2022 How many native flora species can you identify by sight? Most can pick out banksias, wattles, lilly pillys, ironbark and scribbly gum, but what about the rest? Australia has some wonderful, truly unique flora, but fewer and fewer Aussies are able to identify it without the help of apps and guidebooks so thank heavens we now have those! From Hovea to Kunzea and the many, varied Pultenaea peas, plenty of Aussie wildflowers are every bit as beautiful as your 'garden variety' ...flowers, and they're generally tougher and more drought-resistant too. Pictured are the delightful blooms of Melaleuca linariifolia, which give this plant the evocative common name 'snow in summer'. Melaleucas can be tough to ID to a species level, as the photographer Tatters states, but this is a great common name to remember it by. We don't get much snow in summer in this country (although some parts do), so if you're in Queensland or New South Wales, what a beautiful plant to add to your garden to appreciate it. Tell us, which trees are you able to spot by sight, and which you need to drag out the guidebook or tree ID app for?
