An unwanted inheritance of National Australia Bank shares has been put to unlikely use by an impassioned 70-year-old. He's added his name to a shareholder resolution facilitated by @AusConservation, calling on the lender to stop financing deforestation. https://t.co/gyorKtVOxJ

The shares were purchased back when they were just $6 each. Now he's putting them to an unconventional use.

If you've taken a dip in the ocean and felt the waters are strangely warmer, then you’re not wrong. A new map produced by UNSW using 40 years of satellite data highlights how waters around most of Australia are steadily heating. https://t.co/0OjZjujKQf

While the water may be invitingly warm, something devastating is occurring under the surface. Find out more.

This has to be the most incredible creature I've seen this year. I've seen golden brushtail possums before, but not one like this ❤️ Luckily she didn't suffer the same fate as her mum, and a family stopped to help. https://t.co/y3VNyRHAZM

An extremely rare animal was rescued minutes before a truck came hurtling up the road.

"The devastating news that bulldozers have started operating at Lee Point's precious local woodland, is a crushing blow. The loss of such vital land, a biodiverse corridor and home to hundreds of bird species (some endangered) is simply unacceptable.” https://t.co/PyLR8bZ2gm

Dr Jane Goodall, one of the world's best known environmentalists, has described the bulldozing of the iconic site as a "crushing blow". Find out more.

Very sad to read about the death of Dr Jane Goodall at 91. We last corresponded in 2024. Despite her age and busy schedule, she took time to comment on Defence Housing Australia's plan to bulldoze Lee Point in Darwin for new homes, calling it “simply unacceptable”. 1/2 📸Getty

To think that people would intentionally release feral pigs into the environment!?!? Were they not paying attention at school when we were taught about the impact of foxes and rabbits in the mid-1800s? https://t.co/zeveUOwgiV

"Revolting" That pretty much sums up the reaction from witnesses after a mother whale and her calf were tangled in shark nets set by the QLD Government. They've been freed. But will they survive long-term? Story by @cgreatrex01 and me https://t.co/MgOrDETxvS

The whale calf was 'gasping for air' after becoming entangled in a controversial shark net overnight.
