🌍💚 This Save The Koala Day we’re excited to celebrate a huge milestone with our incredible partner, Koala! They’re just about to reach $3.5M donated towards WWF-Australia’s conservation efforts! Since 2017, this partnership has powered impactful projects, from funding koala detection dogs, to providing safe nesting spaces for glossy black cockatoos, and supporting vital research to help green turtles adapt to climate change. And we’re not stopping there! With Koala’s continued support, including a goal to plant 500,000 trees by FY25, we’re making real strides for Australia’s wildlife and ecosystems. Here’s to many more years of meaningful action together! 🌿🐾 #Conservation #Sustainability #Biodiversity #WildlifeProtection

🔥 Indigenous fire management is transforming the Kimberley! New research has proven the remarkable results of Indigenous led fire projects. Traditional Owners in Western Australia’s North Kimberley — specifically the Balanggarra, Dambimangari, Wilinggin, and Wunambal Gaambera groups — have achieved incredible outcomes through their fire management practices. Their efforts have led to a 42% decrease in fire occurrences across 11.7 million hectares — more than a million AFL football fields! By combining ancient fire management practices with modern science, they’re creating healthier landscapes and boosting biodiversity. 🌍 Discover more here: https://lnkd.in/gBPzG3u3 #Conservation #WWFAustralia #Kimberley #FireManagement

The science is clear that fossil fuels are at the root of climate change.   And yet, the approval of three NSW coal mines this week will allow them to extend their operations for another three to four decades.   This is so disappointing.   Australia has the wind, sun and ingenuity we need to both meet our energy needs and help our region decarbonise with clean, renewable energy.   The most important thing we can do to avoid climate catastrophe is to accelerate a fast, best and just transition to renewable energy.
