An AI-based analysis of 20 years of logging by VicForests, shared exclusively with the ABC, shows for the first time, the potential scale of failed regeneration in Victoria's state forests. https://t.co/tXYbiqPzjA

Native forests are priceless - ending native forest logging is critical. Australia has enough plantations to meet its timber needs and there is no excuse for ongoing flattening of precious forests and endangered species that depend on these forests. #politas

Here is a Swift parrot graveyard in Tasmania’s forests: it will never again host nesting Swift parrots as @AlboMP & @jeremyrockliff pushes these critically endangered birds nearer extinction. Those who defended this forest now face jail sentences under Rockliff law. #politas

I reckon the 9.3 millions in subsidies delivered to this industry across two years would help those 350 families.

The economic benefit of the salmon industry to Tasmania is weighted strongly against its environmental and social impacts. Yet it accounts for just 1% of
Last night I received a letter from the Federal Minister regarding salmon farming in Tassie. I want to be clear. I will not stand by and allow bureaucrats in Canberra to kill off our Salmon Industry, or any other jobs on the West Coast.

John from Cygnet was arrested for defending Swift parrot habitat. He is not the criminal. We’ve been calling for machines to be evicted from these forests. Shamefully, @jeremyrockliff & @tanyaplibersek continues to sanction the destruction. #politas

2023 in Tasmania. Another ancient tree killed & carried through Hobart two nights ago. Native forest logging must end now so these trees & their surrounding ecosystems stay intact. Taxpayers fund this destruction + logging causes global heating + extinction rates soar. #politas

PAPER ALERT: Humpback whales observed in the Western Weddell Sea for the first time. Thanks to all the team at Polar Whale Watch, @ponant_cruises @happywhale for supporting this work and many other who contribute to the broader project #CCAMLR @AntarcticFund
In the summer of 2022, scientist observers onboard tourist vessels recorded #humpbackwhales in Antarctica’s newly ice-free western Weddell Sea for the 1st time - a poleward shift that's an indicator of a warming climate, IMAS PhD student @afhender said🐋 https://t.co/dzkIGX269h

Great to see this work starting, it was awesome to hear about it @ValeriaSerafi18 when you were in Hobart!
It took three years in planning, but it is finally happening! Over the next two months we will survey for inshore dolphins in the unexplored northern GBR in collaboration with Traditional Owners @CEBELresearch @SCUonline @BluePlanetMari1 @GBRFoundation @Flinders @FlindersMarine

Endnote is a powerful reference and citation manager. But it costs $275. Zotero is equally powerful and costs $0. But many academics are stuck with Endnote. Here's how you can migrate your Endnote library to Zotero (and save money). A step-by-step tutorial with visuals:

We were in some of the oldest forests being logged in lutruwita. Much like harpooned whales lined up on the whaling ship deck, these forest giants lying on their side, are taller than a person standing next to them. This is ecocide happening right now fuelling the climate crisis.
