Part 1 🧵
While #albania fights their #flamingorevolution the people of Mexico are ferociously fighting to protect a RAMSAR site. Both fights against #corruption and #climateprotection
¿What is a #ramsar site?
“ #ramsarsites refer to sites listed on the List of #wetlands of International Importance, also known as the Ramsar List... These criteria emphasize the importance the Convention places on sustaining biodiversity.”

‘We don’t hear the frogs, we don’t see the birds’:
government repeatedly delayed water to NSW wetlands, documents reveal"The New South Wales government has routinely delayed environmental flows to critical wetlands in the state’s north-west in favour of farming, despite admitting it could harm the breeding cycles of frogs and endangered birds and damage local ecosystems."
“I was furious when I saw the impact that delaying the delivery of environmental water is having on the wetlands and the thousands of waterbirds and other animals that rely upon healthy wetland ecosystems to survive." >>

Governments failed to deliver $160m of river improvements including for now-parched NSW wetlands, report finds
“Quite simply the environment is the loser along with the taxpayer...The failure to implement what was promised means that turtles, fish and wetlands die.”
The Greens environment spokesperson, Sarah Hanson-Young, said the report “makes it abundantly clear that despite millions of dollars being splashed around, it has not gone to protecting the river”. >>

Water Extraction
"The Great Artesian Basin covers a fifth of Australia and contains water that has been there for millions of years. Now, decades of extraction are taking their toll and traditional owners are fighting a mining giant for compensation. But there are limits to what he can do, with BHP’s extraction out of his control."

"Digging dams in sensitive environments"
"A commercial farming company (Green Leaf Australia Group) and one of its directors have together been fined close to $300,000, for constructing and using dams without approval and impacting a "nationally significant" freshwater wetland in northern New South Wales."
"...The court found that some of the offences involved removing vegetation and clearing land, which caused harm to the environment, including nationally significant freshwater wetlands listed as endangered ecological communities.
"It's not just the environmental harm but also the Aboriginal cultural harm that's occurred though this offending, which Magistrate Scott Nash described as 'reckless and motivated for financial gain,'" Ms Stockley said."

WETLANDS IN A DRY LAND
More-than-Human Histories of Australia’s Murray-Darling Basin, Emily O'Gorman"What counts as a wetland, especially in Australia, the driest inhabited continent on earth? In the name of agriculture, urban growth and disease control, humans have drained, filled or otherwise destroyed nearly 87 percent of the world's wetlands over the past three centuries. Only recently have wetlands been widely recognised as worth preserving for their diverse plants, animals, insects, and their human histories."
"Situating Australia's history within global environmental humanities conversations, O'Gorman argues that we need to understand wetlands as socioecological landscapes that transcend the nature-culture divide and to embrace non-Western ways of knowing and being. Only then can we begin to create sustainable relationships with, and futures for, the wetlands."
