Koala translocation: malnourished, emaciated and dead

"NSW government rejected expert advice before failed koala reintroduction that left more than half dead.
Eight of the 13 koalas moved from forest near Wollongong to the South East Forest national park near Bega died over a two-month period."

"Documents reveal state environment department had ‘reckless indifference’ to fate of individual koalas, Greens spokesperson Sue Higginson says. The New South Wales government rejected advice from an expert scientific panel before it attempted a failed reintroduction of koalas to a forest in the state’s south that resulted in the death of more than half the animals."

Translocation experiment: Deaths of seven out of 13 koalas
More than half of koalas relocated to NSW forest died in failed government attempt at reintroduction

"Translocation and deaths of seven out of 13 koalas in April, with some showing signs of septicaemia, not made public by state government. An attempt by the New South Wales government to reintroduce koalas to a forest in the state’s far south has failed after more than half of the moved animals died, including two with signs of septicaemia, and the remaining marsupials were taken into care."

Cassowary banishment from tropical forests
Urban sprawl and wildlife translocation

"Only around 4,000 southern cassowaries are thought to remain in Australia, and the species is threatened by habitat destruction, vehicle strikes, dog attacks and climate change."

An "endangered southern cassowary was discovered underweight and with a belly full of tomato seeds and fruits scavenged from compost bins. Several reports indicated the bird had been wandering along roads close to cane fields and was in danger of being hit by a car or truck."

Walking the trees: we traced how First Nations groups moved bunya pine and black bean trees

Pre-colonial dispersal of Bunya Pine (Araucaria bidwillii) and Black Bean trees (Castanospermum australe) by Indigenous Peoples. "Unpicking the deeper past using First Nations lore and genetic analysis is a promising combination to shed light on domestication. Indigenous movement of plants worked to domesticate landscapes. That is, social and cultural preferences of ancestral groups drove ecological transformations which seem, at first glance, to be natural."

#SARS-CoV-2 #infection perturbs the #gastrointestinal tract and induces modest #microbial #translocation across the intestinal barrier, J Virol.: https://journals.asm.org/doi/abs/10.1128/jvi.01288-24?af=R

These results demonstrate that GI perturbations such as microbial translocation can occur in even mild SARS-CoV-2 infections and may contribute to the #COVID19 #inflammatory state.

Koalas stuck between highways and loggers
"After the timber is logged, the koalas are on their own."

"With the koalas' plantation home being harvested for timber all week, animal advocates predict the marsupials will flee to the closest patch of bush which is unfortunately located on the other side of a busy freeway."

“We are extremely worried about the future of these koalas because we've had four die in the last 12 months outside that plantation,” wildlife rescuer Jessica Robertson

Koalas crushed, starving as Kangaroo Island's blue gum plantations come down

"As the plantations come, down dislocated koalas are hurting recovering native vegetation."

"Wildlife workers and researchers say Kangaroo Island koalas displaced by the removal of controversial Tasmanian blue gum plantations are starving — and an urgent solution is required...We're seeing koalas starving and being displaced in large numbers and this is just not good enough. Mrs Welz said since November last year, her group had cared for numerous animals with crush injuries."

"What we … would love to see is a sacrificial plantation where healthy koalas can be put in to live out their natural lives," she said."

"Koalas are not indigenous to Kangaroo Island and were introduced in the 1920s...the island's vegetation had not fully recovered from the Black Summer bushfires, and as koalas displaced by the plantation shutdown moved into farmland and areas of roadside vegetation, over-browsing was occurring."

"The spokesperson said the department was aware of the potential impacts on remnant native vegetation as koalas were forced to move, but that it was not considering acquiring or leasing part of the remaining unburnt plantation as a refuge."

"The animals are being displaced as the island's timber plantations come down."

""Locals say a koala management plan is needed as displaced animals are destroying native plants."

Elsewhere they regulate #ShortTerm #Accommodation to combat #OverTourism and poor housing conditions.
“Let’s Regulate Airbnb”
"To combat ‘over-tourism’ and poor housing conditions that online rental platforms such as Airbnb, Booking.com, or Abritel contribute to, three MPs and a senator, all members of different parliamentary groups, co-signed the “Let’s Regulate Airbnb” initiative."
"The initative’s manifesto highlighted a ‘vicious circle’ that pushes local populations further and further away from city centres, degrading [their] conditions and worsening [their] precariousness. Stricter #regulation is therefore necessary, according to the lawmakers. They want to first take aim at the tax deduction enjoyed by short-term #rentals and are pushing for an overhaul of the tax rules on secondary residences."
