"Big tree adds between 3% to 15% of the value of a property, so even if the owners don’t care about health benefits, cooling, aesthetic appeal and privacy, it’s financially better to rebuild their fence rather than cutting down the tree.” @sbekessy.bsky.social au.news.yahoo.com/aussie-neigh...

21 species just joined the threatened list. @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social blamed “a decade of environmental vandalism by the LNP". @jamestrezise.bsky.social said it’s fair to say the environment was neglected for years before the Albanese Gov, but they have also not done enough. bit.ly/3F4WtxM

@tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social has been taken to court over her potential failure to protect threatened species. It is good to see public scrutiny if whether the Minister is fulfilling her legal obligation to safeguard these species & could set a precedent for other species. shorturl.at/Se6AE

More funding is required to prevent Australia’s unique freshwater fish species from going extinct - three-quarters of which are found nowhere else on the planet. Funding can help tackle the impacts of invasive fish, modified stream flows & ecosystems, and climate change & extreme weather 🧪🌍

75% of people want stronger environmental laws and national environmental standards to protect nature from developments, only a tiny 4% oppose it. Why hasn't this happened yet @albomp.bsky.social @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social ?
