Continuing the trajectory towards extinction...
"Greenpeace chief executive David Ritter said Australia was a global deforestation and extinction hot spot.The declaration of a Great Koala National Park that addresses our deforestation and extinction crises is long overdue."

The Wilder Blean project is one of the U.K.'s leading efforts in reversing biodiversity crisis, funded by £1.1 million from the People’s Postcode Lottery. With nearly one in six species at risk of extinction, this initiative is crucial for restoring habitats and promoting resilience. #BiodiversityCrisis #NatureFunding
Many animals and plants are losing their genetic diversity, making them more vulnerable
Two-thirds of #animal and #plant populations are declining in genetic #diversity, which makes it harder to adapt to environmental changes, according to research published Wednesday.
"A surprisingly trend was that we saw genetic diversity declining even among" many species that aren't considered at risk, said co-author Catherine Grueber, a conservation biologist at the University of Sydney.
Researchers examined data for 628 species studied between 1985 and 2019. The greatest losses in genetic variation were seen in #birds and #mammals.

Extinction of experience among #ecologists
"Fieldwork-based research and education in #ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for #science and #education ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing #biodiversity crisis."
Confronting devastating destruction
"Since Europeans arrived in Australia, much of the country has become severely degraded."
"Around 40% of our forests and 99% of grasslands have been cut down and cleared, and much of what remains is under threat. Thousands of ecological communities, plants and animal species are threatened with extinction."
"Australia remains a global logging and deforestation hotspot. We have the world’s worst record for mammal extinctions and lead the world in arresting climate and environment protesters. To top it off, a recent study estimated more than 9,000 native Australian animals, mostly invertebrates, have gone extinct since European arrival. That’s between one and three species every week."
