Australia's environmental law reform Bills must be strengthened to protect our biodiversity.
Academy President Prof Jagadish AC calls on Minister for the Environment and Water, Senator the Hon Murray Watt to embed scientific advice into decision-making and limit exemptions that risk our environment.
Image featuring Professor Chennupati Jagadish with a quote about the potential impact of environmental reforms on the Parliament of Australia. Text on image reads: "The Bills must be strengthened to ensure decision-making is informed by robust scientific evidence and can deliver the environmental improvements this requires to achieve."

Two short mushrooms with fuzzy white stems and rounded blue caps nestled together on a log. The blue caps are covered in thousands of tiny white warts, giving the appearance that the mushrooms are covered in an ethereal, glistening frost. Photo by Stephen Axford. Peach-coloured fan-shaped fungi of different sizes growing in a cluster on a log. Their delicate, radiating gills are prominently visible. Photo by Stephen Axford. Three hot pink mushrooms with slender stems and conical caps, set against a dark background. The gills beneath the caps are clearly visible and a lighter colour of pink. Photo by Stephen Axford. A cluster of bioluminescent fungi glowing an eerie green in the dark. The mushrooms have broad, flat caps with gills along the underside that are illuminated by their own light.

Australia is home to approx 24,000 species of native plants 🌿

This #BiodiversityMonth, we’re celebrating the beauty and diversity of native flora — from orchids to mistletoes.

Our guide books are your companions for exploring them: www.publish.csiro.au/PlantsAndFun...
The orchid Prasophyllum candidum, photographed by Lachlan Copeland, from the book Guide to Native Orchids of NSW and ACT. The flowers are arranged in an alternating pattern along a straight, vertical stem. The flowers are a gentle pink colour with yellow centres and rust-coloured outer petals. The mistletoe Amyema linophlla, photographed by Kevin Thiele, from the book Mistletoes of Western Australia. The plant has long pendent like protrusions covered in a soft grey-green fuzz. The seeds of the Macaranga tanarius, photographed Hugh Nicholson, from the book Australian Rainforest Seeds. The seeds are dark, almost black, with light green spikey exteriors protecting them. Blossoms from the wattle Acacia genistifolia, photographed by Alan Gibb, from the book Wattles of Victoria and Tasmania. The flowers have white filaments with yellow anther, and long spear-like green phyllodes growing from the stem.
