Koalas at risk of death once seven-day temperatures rise beyond 27C
Nutritional and climate refugia for koalas"Extreme heat is a major factor in the number of deaths and hospitalisations of Australians every year....An analysis of 11,862 koala rescue admissions to NSW animal hospitals found the marsupials were more likely to die when the seven-day average maximum temperature was greater than 27 degrees Celsius."
"Dr Mella said water stations could be left out as well as shade structures built for koalas in hot regions like north-west NSW. We do that for cattle and we do that for animals that we use for our needs, so we really should be doing it for wildlife as well."
When koalas rests low to the ground in the shade trying to beat the heat they are usually chased and injured by dogs and car. >>

Loggers accused of 'botching' greater glider searches
"Australia’s greater gliders are on the verge of extinction and new regulations were supposed to protect them from loggers. But a new report alleges they’ve been breached 188 times since they were enforced in February."
“Yet again Forestry Corporation [of] NSW has shown itself to be a rogue operator by repeatedly flouting rules meant to protect threatened and endangered species like the iconic Greater Glider."
"Greater gliders were listed as endangered in 2023 and habitat loss has been flagged as a major contributor of their destruction."

Today, Baykeeper, the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, the Bay Institute & @RestoreTheDelta petitioned the California Fish & Game Commission to list the California white sturgeon as threatened under the state's Endangered Species Act.
Protection is urgently needed to keep this ancient fish from disappearing.
