“Nearly 2m hectares of #forests suitable for endangered koalas have been destroyed since the iconic species was declared a #ThreatenedSpecies in 2011, according to analysis for Guardian Australia.
The scale of #habitat #destruction in #Queensland and #NewSouthWales – states in which the koala is formally recognised as being at risk of #extinction – has continued despite political promises it would be protected.
Analysis by the #AustralianConservationFoundation using state and federal government #data found 1,964,200 hectares of #koala habitat were cleared between 2012 and 2021, the latest year for which there was complete data.
The total amount of destroyed forest and bush covered an area larger than greater Sydney, taking in the #BlueMountains, the #Illawarra, the southern highlands and the #Goulburn and #Shoalhaven regions.
It is more than 10 times larger than the area the #NSW government is assessing for a possible “great koala national park”. But most of the cleared area – 81% – was in Queensland.
About three-quarters of the lost forest is estimated to have been cleared for agriculture, to create #cattle pasture and #crop fields. The analysis found 13% was removed by the #forestry industry and 5% for development of infrastructure, including #mining. Just 4% was likely due to natural causes, such as bushfire and drought.”
There’s a reason the Minister for the Environment has been kept quiet.

Human-made ecosystems: Ecological novelty is now the "new normal" for our planet
"30-40% of the world's terrestrial ecosystems have already transformed into novel states."
"O'ahu as an "amazing crystal ball" that offers a glimpse of the future of our planet if humans continue to damage environments and drive species to extinction."
"Hawaii's O'ahu's lowland forests are now almost entirely devoid of the plants and animals that grew here for millions of years before the arrival of humans. Settlers brought extinctions by cutting down trees to make farms and introducing voracious predators and disease-carrying animals. Today, these tropical forests are a tapestry of non-native species introduced from every corner of the planet: Brazilian peppertree, Indonesian cinnamon and roseleaf bramble from the Himalayas and Australia. Most of the animals, including all the birds that Tarwater mentioned earlier, are also alien."
"We like to think of O'ahu as the cautionary tale for all the other Pacific Islands and the Hawaiian Islands. It's what you don't want to have happen – Corey Tarwater"

Any #cattle #farmers around here? Why did the farmer across from me make these stripes on the cow pasture?
I assume it's something to make the grass grow unevenly, so the cows will wander around more and not just stay in one corner. But what was that attachment he was dragging and what does it do to the grass?

Domestic poultry (chickens & turkeys) are @ high risk as they are highly susceptible. **100% of experimentally infected poultry die.** Virus spreads from birds to cattle, then in cattle, in 17 states, & it continues to circulate in cattle... I don’t think there’s been a cattle outbreak of this magnitude in the US before... 2%-5% of the mortality in some (cattle) farms, so it’s not benign...
