Bellingen's 'vanishing' biodiversity

The 'upgrade' of Gleniffer Road and and Roses Rd. encourages motorists to drive as fast and careless as possible. Road signage is knocked down as no road is ever wide enough.

Biodiversity has to live in this fragmented space with speeding combustion boxes. All year around there are dead beings on the road that drivers kill and mush up.

Here are the latest killings in just a few days:

A large beautiful python on the middle of Roses Rd cut in half with one half missing
A freshwater turtle smeared along the road.
A stunning bright Green Tree Snake killed and tied into a knot.
Many birds along the roadside, crippled and enduring a slow death
No one counts the carnage.

The ongoing toxic algal bloom in South Australia
"Citizen scientists have recorded 57,000 marine deaths during the algal bloom." >>

Brewing oceans, brewing storms, making a blooming disaster

"Over the past year, Australia’s oceans have been hotter than ever before...The continued burning of fossil fuels has caused our atmosphere to warm by approximately 1.2 degrees C since the pre-industrial era....If you change what happens in the oceans, you start to change the whole system...The problem with climate change is we’re hitting that system incredibly hard with extra energy and we’re putting a lot of pressure on the oceans."

Global oxygen decline in the ocean
Ocean hypoxia: The science of climate change in the sea

"... The field will need to draw on ... advances to meet demands for adaptation solutions to the continued progression of global ocean deoxygenation, particularly in conjunction with ocean acidification and marine heatwaves in a multi-stressor scenario."

Marine ecosystems: Human activities have pushed Earth beyond its Safe Operating Space.

"World’s oceans fail key health check as acidity crosses critical threshold for marine life. The world’s oceans have failed a key planetary health check for the first time, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels, a report has shown. Scientists call for renewed global effort to curb fossil fuels as seven of nine planetary boundaries now transgressed."
