  3. "The koala population
    in the Burbank bushland (south-east Queensland) ...has suffered massive losses in the past 20-30 years."

    "...Those little ones cross roads, walk into backyards with dogs or trip into swimming pools … we've had all of those types of koalas rescued..."

    Strapping tracking collars around their necks and buzzing the marsupial with thermal drones will now help monitor the sprawling urbanisation, cars and dogs?

    I just learned about Operation Silver Shovel. Greenbelt, MD, like many other places,, has received a nasty dusting of snow; nasty, at least, for our tender experience. Now I learned that if you live in a townhouse or single,, are 70 or older or disabled, the city will clear your driveway/sidewalk if you can't. Dang. We're not talking about their doing it and fining you: just doing it to help, so there's access in case of an emergency.
    (Now i the snowplow driver will only go home, so I can clear the bottom of our driveway so it stays clear.) That aside is serious, but at the same time I applaud them. They've been doing a great job of keeping the roads clear. Not just the main drag: all the roads.

  5. It's not just he #Greenbelt in #Ontario where developers are getting environmentally sensitive land. It's happening on other parts of #Canada too. As this article in @thenarwhal covers.

    "In this Rocky Mountain wildlife corridor, a luxury development forges ahead despite fierce opposition. Hundreds of locals voiced opposition to the Galloway Lands development near #Fernie, B.C. Despite their protests, development is forging ahead, making some residents suspicious of political donations and a #developer who emerged from bankruptcy."
    (IMHO it's even worse when it's about luxury homes are they are low density and really don;t house very many. Besides, lots of non-sensitive places development and increased density can be done)
