I fixed the front page of today’s West Australian newspaper.
We have campaigned for years to reform Australia’s broken nature laws. But the mining lobby appears to have won.
I’m not surprised, just gutted.
RIP koala, gang-gangs, greater gliders… and many, many more precious and unique species.

I’m about 90% sure this is a sugar glider and a young one too. Any nature experts, please jump in!
My brother spotted it while gardening. Very rare to see one of these beautiful creatures during the day given they’re nocturnal. I just hope it’s okay in the extreme heat we’re witnessing.

A magnificent Gang-Gang cockatoo, having a sip in the Otways this time last year. Tonight bushfires are burning a few towns away from where this pic was taken.
Gang-Gangs are endangered in parts of Australia. And every unnatural disaster worsened by global heating pushes them closer to the brink.

In another life, I worked as a reporter and fill-in presenter at BBC World in London. I worked through the early days of the Covid pandemic which was a really wild, grim and unsettling time. Still, I loved this job and cherish the friendships forged in one of the world’s biggest newsrooms.

Well hi Bluesky! I’m Freya - here you’ll find me writing about climate and nature issues in Australia. This pic is from a recent platypus search in regional New South Wales. Did you know Australia is a global deforestation hotspot and has lost more mammal species than anywhere else in the world?
