Plenary 3 of #AOC2025 was the iconic @teamswiftparrot.bsky.social talking about Orange-bellied Parrots. Science, insights and lessons from over a decade of research. Without captive breeding this species will become extinct in the wild.

This is happening in National Heritage waters of the Kimberley and Tassal/Cooke want to expand their operations! This is the same corporation, causing the same industrial fish farming problems as the salmon industry in Tasmania. See Environs Kimberley:

Will the new environment bill, you know...actually protect the environment? @adammorton.bsky.social looks at the evidence, but I suspect you know the answer....

As the Coalition shows its colours on nature, Labor faces a question: will it really protect Australia’s wildlife? | Clear Air
There are some decent elements in what Labor is proposing, but the overhaul could end up as tinkering rather than transformation

One postmortem shows one of the koalas had a joey when she was translocated. The joey was found dead in her pouch during a health check after the first koala deaths in April but the adult female was re-released. She was found on the ground in the forest in late May and died on the way to the vet.
Exclusive: The NSW government rejected advice from an expert scientific panel before it attempted a failed reintroduction of koalas to a forest in the state’s south. 8 out of 13 koalas died, one more than the govt claimed, with postmortems showing emaciation and “undernutrition”.
