Good news. Well done @tanya_plibersek . Please make sure Moreton Bay is protected from any further development that could impact these #ramsar wetlands. #toondah @BirdlifeOz #threatenedspecies

Only two weeks until our Albany workshop! We have a very special guest joining us via videolink: @rjeckard from @PICCCnews at @UniMelb. Rich is a wealth of knowledge on global shifts in #carbon policy & markets, & what it all means for Aussie farms.
RSVP: events.humanitix.com/carbon-ā¦
Really interesting to see how an on-farm trial led by one of my colleagues at @SouthCoastNRM has made such a difference for Esperance croppers. Well done @sophie_willsher!
Hear from #subsurfacedrainage trialās participants their experience with #waterlogging and how #subsurfacedrainage is already making incredible returns for their farms. @theGRDC @ipaddockapps @rowdy854 @warralakin13

Last RT I promise š since a new Sat Paper is out tomorrow!
There were no more than seven known Rosenbergās goannas living in Canberraās Mount Ainslie and Mount Majura reserves, reports @equineocean.
Can conservation efforts restore the population?

Itās horrific to think weāre in a stage of the climate crisis where we can relate to each other's record-breaking fires or apocalyptic smoke-filled skies.
This should not be normal.

āHiking the beautiful trails of AinslieāMajura to find the camera traps, with a potential reward hidden on those memory cards, I can see how the volunteers get hooked.ā
@equineocean on the efforts to safeguard dwindling goanna numbers:

At certain times of the year, volunteers can be found roaming Canberraās Mount Ainslie and Mount Majura reserves bearing raw chicken carcasses ā all in the name of saving the local apex predator.

Iām now a contributor to @SatPaper! Chuffed to be able to bring this story to a wider audience. Have a read about the excellent work of the ACT National Parks Assoc volunteers in studying & protecting the Rosenbergās goannas at Ainslie-Majura #Canberra.

In Who Cares? Eve Vincent considers the welfare state in the context of caring - certain types of āworkā count as employment or for mutual obligation, while care work falls outside this. The book is out today & my review is coming soon!
This morning on ABC RN Life Matters (@RadioNational) with Hilary Harper (@HilaryKHarper), Eve Vincent offers an affecting and humane account of the reality of life on welfare in Australia.
Her new book WHO CARES? is now available: bit.ly/3XHOquf

This is what happened on a remote Australian island after feral pigs, goats & rabbits were eradicated!
The unique wildlife of Phillip Island may never fully recover but, without the invasives, it's become a haven for native seabirds, lizards, insects & snails.

Definitely not ok. āApproval to 2077ā; ā116 gas wellsā. We all need to be up in arms about this - every 0.1 degree of warming matters and there is still time to turn things around - but fracking certainly isnāt the way!
WOAH - 9 days after rejecting Clive Palmer's coal mine, @tanya_plibersek quietly approved this Santos fracking nightmare (1/6)
From the dingo to the Tasmanian devil - why we should be rewilding carnivores. Apex predators are disproportionately important, and in Australia dingoes can help reduce the impact of feral cats and foxes on smaller native wildlife. By ā¦@EuanRitchie1ā© theconversation.com/from-theā¦
