Platypuses need threatened species recognition in NSW, researcher says

"The species was only "hanging on, not thriving" in NSW and the Murray-Darling Basin."

"There's no state or national monitoring framework for platypuses...Dr Bino said platypuses had survived Australia's natural cycles for millions of years, but were now struggling to adapt to human-driven changes. We've been disrupting the natural flow regime and fragmenting and isolating platypus populations."

"Platypus are pretty much wiped out from the mainland in South Australia. They used to occur all along the Murray but that's no longer the case." >>

I just finished my degree and was ready to hit the ground running, but life had other plans. My car’s transmission just died, my partner lost their job, and we’re currently 2 miles from the nearest bus stop.
I’ve secured a bicycle for the short term, but where I live, that’s not a sustainable way to get to a job that pays the bills. If we can't get mobile again, we're looking at being forced to move 1,000+ miles apart just to survive. After 4 years of building a life together, I’m doing everything I can to keep that from happening.
I’m $1,833 away from a repair or a reliable beater. ($163/2000) If you can help, whether it’s $5 or a lead on a remote role in Software Engineering, Tech Support, or any other tech related job. It would quite literally save my life right now.
