You will likely be interested in a petition for urgent, deep and serious reform of the UN 🇺🇳, whose efforts when faced with climate change and other challenges/crises of this century have, unfortunately, been ineffective❗

An important message I think the world should know.
DNA study shows feral cats killing more reintroduced native species than estimated
"Tests on DNA taken from reintroduced native animals in remote SA shows feral cats are the main culprit in their deaths. Feral cats have been blamed for two-thirds of Australia's mammal extinctions since European settlement."

The great koala - glider national park - logging an environmentally significant area
"The Minns Labor government promised to create a koala national park before the state election more than two years ago, but has not taken a decision on the boundaries and has allowed logging to continue. Between April and July 2024, the surveys detected greater gliders at 82 sites. The government’s analysis estimated the planned park has between 29,693 and 44,211 gliders, with a mean estimate of 36,483."
“...Logging should cease in all state forest areas identified as containing greater gliders.”

Koala 'overabundance' - 700 euthanised , some sterilised
The species is often treated like a “pest”.
"When plantations are harvested, all trees are eventually cut down, forcing koalas to move across roads where they're at risk of being struck by cars, or onto private property where they're attacked by dogs, or into national parks where they're already overabundant...The area surrounding Budj Bim has been systematically logged since the 2019/2020 bushfires, likely leaving thousands of koalas homeless...Koalas don’t understand the difference between native forest and a plantation. It’s food. It’s shelter. Without these two things, they die."

The eastern curlews
have “been hammered by habitat destruction up and down the entire flyway for the past 40 years”. Sean Dooley, a senior adviser at BirdLife Australia

Australia is in an extinction crisis – why isn’t it an issue at this election?
"Over the past decade, more than 550 Australian species have been either newly recognised as at risk of extinction or moved a step closer to being erased from the planet."
"Analysis shows 1,964,200 hectares of koala habitat was cleared between 2012 and 2021 – 81% of that in Queensland."
"Australia tops global rankings for mammal extinction – at least 33 species have died out since European invasion and colonisation – and is number two behind Indonesia for loss of biodiversity. The challenge is not only to stop the loss of habitat but to restore the environment in places it has been lost in 250 years of European-driven clearing."

#Australia is in an #ExtinctionCrisis – why isn’t it an issue at this #election? | Australian election 2025 | The Guardian
we are living through an #ExtinctionCrisis unlike anything in human history—over a million #species are at risk of disappearing in the coming decades. #ecosystems that have taken millions of years to evolve are unravelling before our eyes, driven by #HabitatDestruction, #climate chaos, #pollution, and endless #extraction. every species lost is a thread pulled from the web of life, and sooner or later, that web collapses.

Please consider reading and signing this 👇 petition for radical reform of the UN 🇺🇳, or boosting if you have already signed it.
The petition is relevant to crises such as: #RussianinvasionofUkraine
#israelipalestinianconflict
#Climatechange
#ExtinctionCrisis
The petition proposes to break the status quo at the UN, abolishing the vetoes and permanent seats in the “Security” Council.
The petition is a little longer than average, but, I believe, quite readable!
**HERE'S A REAL MEGA POPULAR MUZWOT ETHOS POST ...
"Going anywhere nice this summer?"
It just isn't right at all any longer, it isn't fair and it is grossly selfish and totally irresponsible, irrespective of the ton of glossy ads that try to normalize it still.
Jetting off around the globe for holidays in the age of #ExtinctionCrisis and #climatecatastrophe has LONG Had Its Day and it is something now disgusting, deeply vulgar and shameful
- it is no longer glamorous WHATSOEVER.

Provide habitat and fund wildlife hospitals!
"The WA Wildlife Hospital has seen a 17 per cent year-on-year increase in patient admissions over the past 15 years."
Reasons?
"These include increasing urban sprawl, with suburbs encroaching on natural habitats as the population grows, and attacks from introduced predators such as wandering cats, foxes and dogs."
