Burning fossil fuels " left the wet tropics “at a real risk of losing the very things it was made a world heritage area to protect”.

"Queensland’s wet tropics see 25% rise in threatened species in three years as climate change bites. The number of listed threatened species in Australia’s world heritage northern rainforests has increased by 25% since 2020, as ecologists say they are now clearly observing the long-predicted impacts of global heating."

“We also found the (native) bees (Tetragonula hockingsi) had diminished tolerance of heat stress after non-lethal exposure to the insecticides. Even bees exposed to miniscule amounts of insecticide, certainly not enough to kill them, were more susceptible to the effects of heat.The combination of heat stress and insecticide exposure may put this stingless bee at increased risk of decline."
