Home of endangered marsupial hit by state-sanctioned logging in NSW, environmentalists say

"Conservationists say Forestry Corporation of NSW logging operation is ‘knocking to pieces’ a forest home to the greater glider..The greater glider is Australia’s largest gliding marsupial. It was listed as endangered in 2022 after losing significant parts of its habitat to bushfire, drought, land-clearing and logging."

If this is about laws against #cats then they are likely repressive. To the human and the animal.

We need to focus on limiting #humanExpansion, #urbanSprawl, both vertically and horizontally, over our environment and #habitats, not limiting lifetime companion choices with oft #repressive and #authoritarian laws, that are likely to hit even the most thoughtful and caring in our communities.

Le gvt du Québec ne respecte pas les espèces vulnérables
''Approving virtually all applications to destroy species-at-risk habitat in Quebec is shameful, said Anna Hargreaves, an associate professor of biology at McGill University. “It suggests that our current government is not interested in protecting Quebec’s species at risk.”
Quebec approved nearly all development projects on vulnerable plant habitats over last decade''

#ChrisPackham: We're precipitating a #MassExtermination event

Story by David Stock, July 11, 2023

"Our world has led a long, sometimes tumultuous and always complicated life. Telling that story is no small feat, but #Earth, a five-part BBC documentary narrated by naturalist Chris Packham, sets out to do so by looking at significant moments in Earth's history, 'its first step, its first word, its first marriage', says Packham. 'And we've been very much driven by some of the more exciting new science as well."

"While the series deals with Earth's history on a geological scale - including how the #Climate has changed radically, often over millions of years, and sometimes with astonishing results - for Packham, it is the much more-recent legacy of accelerated human-driven #ClimateChange and #biodiversity loss that troubles him the most. 'I'm slightly troubled by the word loss,' says Packham. 'We haven't lost the species. We haven't inadvertently left them behind the shed. We've destroyed them or we've destroyed their #habitats. So it's not a sixth mass extinction event that we're precipitating, it's a mass extermination event.'

"There is, however, still time to make a difference, he says. 'As a conscious organism, precipitating that type of event isn't conscionable from my perspective, which is why I would rather do something about it.'"

Abeja Negra SOS: The #UnitedStates alone is estimated to have lost around 25% of its #bees in the past 40 years.

The drop is often blamed on #human causes: the use of damaging #chemicals, destruction of natural #habitats and #climatechange.

In 2019, the #UnitedNations raised an alarm that bee loss “poses a serious threat” to #global #foodsecurity.

I've been involved in trying to #SaveWildSalmon for over a decade. Several of my #FirstNations friends & colleagues have been in the fight for much longer. The funding is needed. However, the funds won't help to save/protect #WildSalmon in #BritishColumbia if #BCNDP government still allows mass #destruction & #pollution of #salmon #habitats . FYI, #OldGrowth #forests are essential for wild salmon survival & vice versa. Salmon are also a #KeystoneSpecies here.

An analysis shows that Earth's giant kelp forest🌱🌊is 3 times more valuable for food and the planet than previously estimated.

With marine #habitats under threat from various factors, this study explores the impact in the near future.
