BellingenNSWDestroying Australia's biodiversity
"The decisions of our political leaders, who continue to approve fossil fuel project expansions and widespread land clearing and habitat destruction, are coming home to roost in ever more predictable, catastrophic and emotionally confronting ways. "
"There is a tragic inevitability about what ... bats – and, indeed, countless other species – confront in this “new normal”. If we continue to destroy their habitats, and politicians wave through yet more coal and gas approvals, even more mass mortality events could be a matter of when, not if."
"There was a time when the dire potential consequences of climate change and environmental destruction were warnings, calls from scientists and experts for increased and urgent action. Now an unsettling possibility feels like a disturbing reality...We must change course."
