BellingenNSWNature–society relations in disaster governance frameworks"This paper studies how the relations between nature and society are constructed in disaster governance frameworks. Dominant disaster governance frameworks present nature and society as separate realms, and the organisation of society is increasingly seen as the key cause of hazards and disasters. Disaster impacts are similarly framed around adverse societal consequences, while other-than-human nature is merely the background across which disasters unfold, as property lost, or a means of disaster governance. Although the centrality of human impacts is troubled when biodiversity or a disaster flagship species is threatened, neither situation challenges the nature–society dualism embedded in dominant disaster governance frameworks. The attention and resources of disaster governance target the societal side of nature–society dualism. This study finds, though, that in peripheries characterised by remoteness from centres of power, a sparse human population, and large spaces of other-than-human nature, the vulnerabilities facing humans and other-than-human nature risk being ungoverned." >> Meriläinen, E.

Bruce DavieTo make up for the very distant and vague photo of a koala from yesterday, here is a very close-up and clear pic of a koala (looking unusually alert) from the Phillip Island sanctuary which I visited a couple of years back. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/koalas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#koalas</a>

Bruce DavieWent for a hike in Budj Bim National Park, western Victoria today, and managed to spot a koala high up in a eucalyptus tree. While we knew there was a chance to see them, 2 hours of careful scanning only yielded one sighting. First time in over a decade I’ve seen a koala in the wild. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/straya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#straya</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bushwalking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bushwalking</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/koalas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#koalas</a>

BellingenNSWHuman-mediated extirpation of wildlife through logging"Before industrial logging in south-west British Columbia, there were nearly 1,000 spotted owls in the old-growth forests. But they have vanished in recent decades, victims of habitat destruction. Activists have tried in vain to hold the government to account, alleging protected species laws have failed to prevent the extirpation of the owls.""Efforts to revive the population have failed, with a pair of owls released from the breeding program dying within months.
