Ecological niche (Habitat 🌄)
In ecology, a niche is the match of a species to a specific environmental condition. It describes how an organism or population responds to the distribution of resources and competitors and how it in turn alters those same factors. "The type and number of variables comprising the dimensions of an environmental niche vary from one species to another the relat...

Logging in the Great Koala National Park without current threatened species surveys?
"Koalas, greater gliders and other threatened species have not been counted since 2017, well before the 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires and floods – but that has not stopped logging on an industrial scale in Clouds Creek State Forest and other native timber forests within the proposed Great Koala National Park in NSW."
"Forestry Corp’s ‘business as usual’ is not working for the koala or other threatened species, such as the greater glider. Logging procedures must change to include up-to-date wildlife surveys and events such as major floods and bushfires."
“It’s actually shocking that there is currently no requirement to conduct ecological surveys in our native forests prior to the commencement of logging." Greens MP and spokesperson for the Environment Sue Higginson
“The NSW Minister for the Environment and the Minister for Agriculture should immediately require pre-logging ecological surveys to be conducted to ensure that threatened species are being protected from industrial logging."

Surveying remnant vegetation inside the clear- felling zone at Tuckers Nob forest by Dr. Tim Cadman:
Mapping remnant vegetation with Avenza inside Tuckers Nob compartments 26 and 27 now zoned active, and to be logged. "More ringwoods, some lovely bloodwoods, an original tallowwood, and two patches of natural forest. All most likely to be converted to plantation, and sold as sustainable certified plantation."

The gut-wrenching carnage of our precious native forests
"Taxpayers are having to subsidise the destruction of nature in Australia.”
"New images have emerged of what one conservation group chief describes as the “gut-wrenching carnage” of logging inside the habitat of the endangered greater glider in the Tallaganda State Forest just outside Canberra, as environmental groups call on the NSW government to extend recent logging bans."
"The NSW Environment Protection Agency ordered the state government-owned logging agency, Forestry Corporation, to suspend logging in Tallaganda at the end of last month after a dead greater glider was found near operations..."
“It’s devastating to see native forest logging continue when we know the impact it’s having on species. Native forest logging runs at a loss. Taxpayers are having to subsidise the destruction of nature in Australia.”
"Conservationists are calling for a permanent end to native forest logging and reforms to federal laws to prevent the legal destruction of critical habitat."

#Microplastics are a class of #pollutants that can persist for centuries, entering global #ecosystems in large amounts. The presence of microplastics in ecosystems changes the #physicochemical properties of the abiotic #environment and the #habitat of organisms; these particles then directly or indirectly interact with organisms, leading to #toxicological and #ecological effects.

Cars, dogs and disease are the biggest killers of koalas
More and wider logging roads through Bellingen's koala hub will not help the survival of the endangered species.
"A database tracking hospital admissions and deaths reveals the devastating impact cars, disease and dogs are having on the South East Queensland koala population."
“In the five years between 2009 and 2014, 52 per cent of reported wild koala deaths were caused by car strike, 34 per cent were from a chlamydia-related disease and 14 per cent were because of a dog attack.
“This equates to 1,431 koala deaths from a car strike, 943 chlamydia-related deaths, and 395 dog attack deaths in just five years."

"Can a grey wolf calm the climate? Can a whale tame the skies?
No, those aren’t the chorus lines of some whimsical 70s folk song. Rather, they’re the sort of legitimate questions arising from a fascinating new study into a previously overlooked, but potentially crucial, benefit of rewilding.
It found that maintaining healthy populations of just nine key wild species (or groups of species) – including elephants and wolves, but also wildebeest, musk ox and bison, as well as marine fish, whales, sharks and sea otters – can play a vital role in controlling the carbon cycle on land and sea. How? Because in order for such creatures to thrive, they need a viable habitat. And if that’s conserved, whether in the oceans, forests, grasslands or swamps, so are the many ways in which its natural properties of sequestering and storing carbon are maintained, too."

"Down Under, there’s a massive campaign to connect 315,000 hectares, or 750,000, acres of coastal habitat for koalas in New South Wales into a single national park.
Now, a new logging ban to come into effect will protect 106 “hubs” across 8,400 hectares (21,000 acres) of forest where koalas in the wild are known to congregate in largest numbers.
It was a “historic step forward,” said Nature Conservation Council acting chief executive Brad Smith, describing the area as “the most important koala habitat in the world.”
The parcel is just one part, though key, of the 315,000 hectares that a coalition of conservation organizations is hoping to protect forever to ensure koalas can survive the eons."

Dear Minister for the Environment
National Threatened Species Day on 7 September raises awareness of plants and animals at risk of extinction. Over the last 200 years, more than 100 Australian animal and plant species have been made extinct.
How you can help Australia's threatened species:
Stop making Australian animals and plants extinct
Stop logging native forests
Stop logging The Great Koala Park
Stop degrading ecosystems
Stop having lax laws to protect biodiversity
Stop under-financing our web of life
Stop fossil fuels immediately
No more extinctions!
“Stopping logging and habitat destruction for roads, real estate and agriculture would have a huge, positive impact."

Koalas crushed, starving as Kangaroo Island's blue gum plantations come down
"As the plantations come, down dislocated koalas are hurting recovering native vegetation."
"Wildlife workers and researchers say Kangaroo Island koalas displaced by the removal of controversial Tasmanian blue gum plantations are starving — and an urgent solution is required...We're seeing koalas starving and being displaced in large numbers and this is just not good enough. Mrs Welz said since November last year, her group had cared for numerous animals with crush injuries."
"What we … would love to see is a sacrificial plantation where healthy koalas can be put in to live out their natural lives," she said."
"Koalas are not indigenous to Kangaroo Island and were introduced in the 1920s...the island's vegetation had not fully recovered from the Black Summer bushfires, and as koalas displaced by the plantation shutdown moved into farmland and areas of roadside vegetation, over-browsing was occurring."
"The spokesperson said the department was aware of the potential impacts on remnant native vegetation as koalas were forced to move, but that it was not considering acquiring or leasing part of the remaining unburnt plantation as a refuge."
"The animals are being displaced as the island's timber plantations come down."
""Locals say a koala management plan is needed as displaced animals are destroying native plants."

Vast national park to protect native animals 🇦🇺
#Habitat for more than 50 threatened species will be preserved as part of a new land acquisition, becoming NSW’s 3rd largest national park.
The 437,394-hectare site, called Thurloo Downs, 250 klms from Bourke in the state’s north-west, contains globally significant arid zone #wetlands, salt lakes, playas and other geological formations unprotected elsewhere in NSW.
The area is home to #birds including the critically endangered plains wanderer, vulnerable pink cockatoos and the endangered painted snipe; #lizards such as the crowned gecko; #marsupials including sandy inland mouse and the stripe-faced dunnart, plus threatened plant species.
Thurloo is part of the Bulloo Overflow, a critical #ecosystem for huge numbers of #waterbirds, particularly in breeding seasons.
