Biodiversity is how a variety of all living things (plants, animals and fungi) interact within ecosystems to maintain balance and to support life. Ecology is inherently complex.
New grasslands book out. My review (incl link to where you can order it)
https://astherivergoesby.wordpress.com/2025/11/16/new-grasslands-book-out/
"a great history and introduction to how southeast Australia’s grasslands came to be, how they nurtured (and were nurtured by) the First Nations peoples, how they were an essential resource that lured the colonisers. And how as a result of colonial practices they now are almost destroyed, a rare, endangered, misunderstood and overlooked ecosystem. The book includes a detailed look at some of the dominant, widespread native grass species throughout southeast grasslands, and discusses their potential use in horticulture, landscaping and sustainable agriculture, as well as ecological restoration."

The golden-shouldered #parrot or alwal could soon have an Indigenous-led recovery plan for the species.
