PLEASE sign the petition to stop violence against women. Enough is Enough. 44 women have been killed by male violence in Australia this year, most by men known to them. Our governments must take greater action to fund frontline services and keep perpetrators in sight at all times. zoedaniel.com.au/vaw-petitio…

A 2% per annum reduction in threatened species may not seem that consequential. But compounded since 2000, this represents a 40% decline in Australian species we love! A must read from Dr @megcevans and Profs @BrenWintle and @HugePossum. 👇🏽 theconversation.com/threaten…

Threatened species have declined 2% a year since 2000. Nature positive? Far from it.

When Labor took office, it promised to reverse nature’s decline. But that looks more and more like greenwashing

NEW PAPER! The latest in our series on nocturnal basking is out. #Turtles bask at night predominantly when the water temp is above their thermal preference and the air temp is lower than their pref. I.e., they bask to cool down! Great work, Rosie Kidman. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Kookaburras are 'perch & pounce' predators that nest in hollows. If your farm trees are too young for hollows add a few of their special nest boxes. On the cool side of the shed is good. That one act will mean the pair will kill approx 6 mice, snakes etc a day for 20 years.

Trump keeps comparing himself to Jesus, so here's #SNL's take on that from Holy Week last year. Y'all could use a laugh, given this awful day. Be sure to watch the entire clip. It's stellar.

The NSW Government is failing our rivers. Their most recent position on buybacks is straight out of the Barnaby Joyce playbook. Save our rivers- EMBARGO WATER NOW.
