BellingenNSW<p>Australia's extinction crisis<br>Vote to stop land clearing and habitat destruction</p><p>"Successive federal governments have failed to protect nature. Australia now has more than 2,000 threatened species and “ecological communities” – groups of native species that live together and interact. This threatened list is growing at an alarming rate. "</p><p>"The Albanese government came to power in 2022 promising to reform the nation’s nature laws, following a scathing review of the laws. But it has failed to do so." </p><p>"Only about 1.5% of the hundreds of thousands of hectares of land cleared in Australia every year is fully assessed under the EPBC Act. This means our threatened species and ecological communities are suffering a “death by a thousand cuts”. "</p><p>"Stronger environmental law and enforcement is essential for tackling biodiveristy decline and extinction. This should include what’s known as a “climate trigger”, which means any proposal likely to produce a significant amount of greenhouse gases would have to be assessed under the EPBC Act. "</p><p>"Key threats to species, including habitat destruction, invasive species, climate change, and pollution, must be prevented or reduced. Aligning government policies and priorities to ensure environmental goals aren’t undermined by economic and development interests is essential."<br>>><br><a href="https://theconversation.com/australians-want-nature-protected-these-3-environmental-problems-should-be-top-of-the-next-governments-to-do-list-253336" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/australian</span><span class="invisible">s-want-nature-protected-these-3-environmental-problems-should-be-top-of-the-next-governments-to-do-list-253336</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/habitat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>habitat</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/destruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>destruction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pollution</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EPBCAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EPBCAct</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ClimateBreakdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateBreakdown</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conservation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ThreatendSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreatendSpecies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/governance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>governance</span></a></p>
