Threatened Species Day in 2023

Today is National Threatened Species Day! Not a cause for celebration when the habitats of rare and endangered species are being destroyed. From Dr Harmsen’s, currently imprisoned in Hobart’s women’s prison for defending wildlife from extinction: https://t.co/grkCA4ZWoo

National Threatened Species Day marks the loss of the thylacine on 7th September 1936 We need to do more to protect native flora & fauna, under ever increasing pressure from the way we treat this planet. Otherwise a whole lot more species are headed in the same direction https://t.co/XgdA5cHXM1

Today, on Threatened Species Day the Govt has added 48 new species to the endangered species list. This is nothing to celebrate. It’s a national shame. We need laws that protect our environment & wildlife - laws that will stop the logging & bulldozing our native forests & habitat

On Threatened Species Day another 48 plants & animals have been added to the endangered list 🥺 We're heading in the wrong direction. The solutions are clear - stronger environmental laws & investment in Nature. Govt must show the courage to solve this. https://t.co/zbxoRXxjx3

Dear @tanya_plibersek On this National Threatened Species Day, I'd love to hear you announce that you have rejected the proposed Toondah Harbour development. The critically endangered eastern curlews need that space for their very survival. https://t.co/iwwjOUBZ3e
