Undergrounding tree-dwelling koalas for the free flow of traffic

66 koalas have died from car crashes on Appin Road since July 2022.

"Around 10,000 vehicles use this section of road each day...Underneath one of south-west Sydney's busiest roads lies the city's first koala underpass.The NSW government says no koalas have been recorded using the underpass since it opened five months ago." >>

Idyllic rural NSW is a hotspot for motor neurone disease

"Our recent mortality paper shows that if you live in rural and regional Australia, you are 40 per cent more likely to die from motor neurone disease. This cannot be genetic."
"Much attention will be focused on MND hotspots which include regional centres such as Griffith, Leeton, Wagga Wagga and Narrandera in the Riverina where rates of the degenerative illness are estimated to be five to seven times the national average. Other areas of concern include Tamworth, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie." >>

Die #Klimakrise trifft #Australien:

Anhaltender #Starkregen hat in Teilen von New South Wales zu Überschwemmungen und zahlreichen #Rettungseinsätzen geführt.

Besonders betroffen ist die Mid North Coast rund um #PortMacquarie, wo über 100 mm Regen fielen.

Schulen wurden geschlossen, Straßen überflutet und Flüsse traten über die Ufer. Eine staatliche Soforthilfe von 50 Millionen Dollar soll Betroffenen beim Wiederaufbau helfen.

The koala "walks around like he owns the joint."

Koalas face habitat loss pressure by deforestation and sprawl. The verge of the road is their new home now.

"Urban koalas and ones in rural areas are not doing so well, they are continuing to decline at an alarming rate.This is a classic sign of loss of habitat and these animals having to struggle in areas where habitat has been removed...The number of koalas being hit by cars recently has been concerning..."

A good-hearted somebody has been out along the path popping tiny messages of hope and inspiration. The signs are no more than a few cm tall/wide so very easy to miss - but oh so enjoyable to discover. #Australia #inspiration #kindness #NSW #signs #walking #portmacquarie #Guruk
