Brilliant plan! Adventure plus biodiversity protection is the best combo. Let's make this happen for the Greater Glider! 🌳
QLD Conservation Council retweeted
We need regeneration, not more destruction. Ignoring science means losing the glider—and the ecosystems we all depend on. When do we start putting nature first?
QLD Conservation Council retweeted

NEW | A fact about coal that receives very little attention is that coal mines are a major source of METHANE 🔥
For its first 20 years in the atmosphere, #methane's warming impact is more than 80x that of carbon dioxide 🌍🌡️
But why exactly do coal mines emit methane?..🤔 🧵1/7
QLD Conservation Council retweeted
Australia’s koalas are being driven to extinction by habitat loss, climate change and disease.
Our client @QldConservation is deeply concerned the owners of an open cut coal mine could have illegally cleared 47 hectares of koala habitat without federal approval.

The Water Amendment (Restoring Our Rivers) Bill has passed the Senate.
This is a great day for our Darling-Baaka River System 🩵
More flows down the Darling-Baaka, Menindee SDLAM project to be canned, buybacks will be used & money for First Nations water!

We're joining Australia’s leading climate and environment organisations to challenge @AustralianSuper to match Brookfield’s $30bn clean energy spend or stop blocking the deal.

MR: The QLD Budget is a positive step but the Govt must do more on renewables & energy efficiency
"We welcome the $70m Household Energy Initiatives & advice package & urge the QLD Govt to commit further funds to enable access to cheap clean solar"

I want QUEENSLAND MINERALS to power clean energy economies around the world.
⚡Today I can announce the first critical minerals demonstration facility in Australia will be built in Townsville ⚡
Jobs for regional Queenslanders. And a clean energy future for our kids.

These reports are very concerning.
Land clearing is putting enormous pressure on Aust’s native plants + animals. We need to put a stop to unauthorised land clearing to help protect our threatened species.
There must be serious consequences for anyone who does the wrong thing.
Images suggest land being cleared for cotton farming before permits granted. #abc730 @roxannefitzgrld @Hannah_Meagher abc.net.au/news/2023-01-11/l…

'There is no doubt that we are witnessing climate change' when it comes to natural disasters. @MurrayWatt on @RNBreakfast
So good to have an emergency minister who gets it.

60,000 years of speaking, but still no Voice.
A Voice to Parliament will give First Peoples a say on the decisions and issues that affect us.
It’s time to make change. Together, let’s make history.

This is really important from Australia’s Climate and Energy Minister @Bowenchris today:
“Gas is neither a transition fuel, nor low emissions."
