Great Koala National Park 'dependent' on carbon offsets, but taxpayers will pay 95% of cost
"The NSW Government says the Great Koala National Park is “dependent” on money from carbon offsets. Media headlines suggests the offsets are “worth hundreds of millions of dollars”."
"...Over the long term, taxpayers will pay for 95% of the costs of the Great Koala National Park, while carbon offsets will pay for about 5%. Yet the public is told that it is the carbon offsets that are providing the “real money”, the park “depends” on the offsets."
"Native forests should be protected because of their ecological, environmental and social value. Not because polluters are prepared to throw in some small change." >>

Biodiversity under the wheels
Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and other wildlife are forced to dwell in fragmented spaces having to cross many roads to go about their life. Mobility design is primarily for combustion machines to fly along their supply chains. The mobility needs of the un-motorised is not taken care of with the existing infrastructure.
"Tens of thousands of collisions with animals are recorded each year across Australia and the number appears to be rising. According to NRMA Insurance claims data, there was a 21% rise in animal collision claims from 2024-2025."
"Many large animals, including kangaroos, are most active at dusk and night, often moving to feed along roadside vegetation. Insurance data shows collisions are concentrated on regional and rural roads, where higher speeds, limited lighting and greater exposure to wildlife increase risk." >>

Monitoring Australia’s endangered species
while logging their habitatsScent dogs are being replaced by cost-effective biomonitoring of threatened species. Technology will detection chemical signals of wildlife assemblages in the environment. " Little did we know that traces of wildlife presence float in the air and can be detected through traces of DNA."
Will the air sampling techniques operate with the pollution of heavy logging machinery to detect the scent of a koala or a glider? Will it cut through the thick smoke from (bush) fires that follow? Will traffic pollution allow allow the technology to pick up the airborne eDNA?

As summer heat arrives in August and they are expanding fossil fuels.
It is time to be prepared for mega fires in Australia."Australia’s unprecedented bushfires of 2019 to 2020 burned an area larger than the United Kingdom, killed at least 33 people, killed or displaced close to 3 billion animals, and destroyed the habitats of more than 500 species."
For 60,000 Years, Australia’s First Nations Have Put Fire to Good Use.
Watch “Burnt Country”, Kirsten Slemint's documentary on cultural burning in Australia.

Australien hat den Gefährdungsstatus von Koalas auf "bedroht" hochgestuft. Das ist höchste Zeit, denn die drolligen Tiere kämpfen schon länger ums Überleben. Und jetzt mal ehrlich: Was wäre eine Welt ohne Koalas?!
