#Numbats once lived across much of southern Australia, but by the 1980s they could only be found in two tiny patches of forest in southwest #WesternAustralia, due to introduced cats and foxes. They're the only member of their family, and I'm so very glad they were protected before it was too late.

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness

We just published some new #science on forest habitat loss in Tasmania! here's a quick thread!

Swift parrots are Critically Endangered because of habitat loss.

Until now, nobody has quantified the amount and trends of forest loss and degradation!

A remarkable transition:

Kenya is Africa's leading country when it comes to renewables.

In 2000 fossil fuels contributed 60% to electricity generation.

Today it is 6%. In 2023 electricity was from almost 50% geothermal, 20% wind+solar and 22% hydro.
