  1. Death trap: Killing Australian wildlife with everyday items

    "Flying foxes make up two-thirds of all entanglement cases in NSW"

    "But it’s not just flying foxes – entanglements affect hundreds of different species, mostly mammals and birds, including kangaroos, platypus, raptors and gliders....Hungry animals, especially flying foxes, birds and possums, are attracted to flowers and fruits, and get easily caught in “large-aperture” nets, where the mesh size is greater than 5mm. The rule of thumb is that if you can poke a finger through it, it’s not safe for wildlife."

    "Aquatic debris makes up about 10% of entanglement cases, according to NSW wildlife rescue data. Fishing line is probably the most difficult type of litter for platypus to cope with, and causes horrendous injuries – it basically just cuts through the skin.” >>

  2. Shiny new barbed wire fences are going up around the Bellingen and Gleniffer area:

    "Barbed wire is a hidden killer of Aussie wildlife. Gliders, bats, owls and wallabies die tangled every year. Researchers have long documented sugar and squirrel gliders caught on barbed wire in roadside vegetation...Replacing barbed wire with plain fencing is a quick win for nature. It’s simple, cheap, lifesaving."

  3. This is an announcement for an event I’ll be facilitating as part of TeachOnline’s excellent ongoing series of webinars. In it I will be discussing some of the key ideas of my open book, How Education Works, and exploring what they imply about how we should teach and, more broadly, how we should design systems of education. It will be fun. It will be educational. There may be music.

    Here are the details:

    Date: Tuesday, September 24, 2024

    Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM (Eastern Time) (find your time zone here)
