Malnourished and sick kangaroos, isolated by urban sprawl on New South Wales's Mid North Coast
"...The kangaroos were chronically malnourished because they could not find enough to eat in an area bordered by ocean, the nearby Emerald Beach settlement, and the Pacific Highway. Our theory is that ongoing development … the M1 being upgraded and an increase in suburban dwellings, that this population is isolated." >>

Why car dependence is now a strategic liability
Failure to electrify
Road projects and mega-highway projects are unaffordable
No walking, cycling infrastructure or EV bus improvements
Every bus electrified, every cycleway built, every train funded is a direct reduction in exposure to the next crisis. The question now is whether (your place) begins to treat the car dependence not as a lifestyle choice but as a strategic liability. >>

Mobility design for all
The cost of doing b̶u̶s̶i̶n̶e̶s̶s̶/ transport should factor in wildlife bridges /corridors at reasonable intervals. When they can construct 40,000-vehicle-a-day conveyor belts through wildlife ecosystems, then they could ensure mobility for koalas, gliders, swamp wallabies and wombats too.
Elsewhere motorways are being retrofitted to allow animals to move safely between fragmented sections of bushland. >>

Had a déjà vu feeling here regarding the local Gleniffer Road widening and the Coffs Harbour Bypass Highway.

Australia’s addiction to mega roads continues despite the spectre of climate change.
" The stream of projects shows Australia’s approach to urban transport is stuck in the car-obsessed past. It’s an approach at odds with state planning policies that prioritise other less-polluting transport modes, such as train and tram extensions, bike lane infrastructure and better pedestrian footpaths.
As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned, roads hinder national efforts to meet climate targets. They “lock in” emissions, by establishing long-term infrastructure that commits societies to greenhouse gas emissions for decades to come...Globally, roads account for 69% of transport emissions, and this is growing. "

Koala habitat and roads
"A research project to compile the first genome map of koalas across eastern Australia has exposed areas where the species is most at risk.The most surprising results were in coastal pockets of NSW, where koala populations are increasingly hemmed between sprawling coastal communities, and the Pacific Highway."
"Those koala populations are really quite constrained genetically because you've got ocean on one side, highway on another and a town to the north and a town to the south.The fracturing of habitat makes it hard for koalas to mix and diversify the genes of their offspring, putting the species at risk of extinction from environmental shocks, and serious diseases like chlamydia."
