Sad to report that we've lost another #kakapo, and a particularly significant one. Solstice was the last kākāpō rediscovered, found on Rakiura in 1997. She died on the weekend as a result of complications from the #disease cloacitis. There are now 237 kākāpō left. #conservation #parrots #birds

Check out this regent parrot who can barely fit in her own nest - this huge old red gum has a 5cm wide slit that’s been a nest for a couple years now. squeeze == safe

We'll be ready to work with interim leadership from Day 1 to end Renew ANU and stop *all* forced redundancies.

This is only possible with new leadership.

@nteunion.bsky.social - and everyone else - knows that the farce at #ANU has gone on for far too long.

Amid mounting scandals and a loss of confidence in her management, the Australian National University vice-chancellor is negotiating an exit from her role.
