Continuing the trajectory towards extinction...

"Greenpeace chief executive David Ritter said Australia was a global deforestation and extinction hot spot.The declaration of a Great Koala National Park that addresses our deforestation and extinction crises is long overdue."

Happy to share our recent research on the effects of #roads on European #foodwebs, where we show that road impacts extend beyond direct mortality, propagating across the entire #ecologicalnetwork of #speciesinteractions. We also identify critical areas where cascading effects are most pronounced and highlight the most vulnerable trophic groups.

Many animals and plants are losing their genetic diversity, making them more vulnerable

Two-thirds of #animal and #plant populations are declining in genetic #diversity, which makes it harder to adapt to environmental changes, according to research published Wednesday.
"A surprisingly trend was that we saw genetic diversity declining even among" many species that aren't considered at risk, said co-author Catherine Grueber, a conservation biologist at the University of Sydney.
Researchers examined data for 628 species studied between 1985 and 2019. The greatest losses in genetic variation were seen in #birds and #mammals.

Extinction of experience among #ecologists
"Fieldwork-based research and education in #ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for #science and #education ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing #biodiversity crisis."

Confronting devastating destruction

"Since Europeans arrived in Australia, much of the country has become severely degraded."

"Around 40% of our forests and 99% of grasslands have been cut down and cleared, and much of what remains is under threat. Thousands of ecological communities, plants and animal species are threatened with extinction."

"Australia remains a global logging and deforestation hotspot. We have the world’s worst record for mammal extinctions and lead the world in arresting climate and environment protesters. To top it off, a recent study estimated more than 9,000 native Australian animals, mostly invertebrates, have gone extinct since European arrival. That’s between one and three species every week."

The ConversationIn 2025, let’s make it game on – not game over – for our precious natural worldAmidst habitat destruction and ecological grief, let’s make a New Year’s resolution for nature — to care for beetles and butterflies, rainforests and reefs, ourselves, and future generations.

The 5 biggest drivers for extinction are:
* destruction of habitats
* monocultures
* pollution (microplastic, pesticides, heavy metals, forever chemicals, ...)
* climate change
* invasive species

In other words the single biggest driver for extinction is capitalist extractivism and exploitation.
We clear forests to build roads, cultivate monocultures to feed our live stock, burn fossil fuels to power our consumerism and put our waste in the ocean. That destroys the ecosystem, species become extinct or seek refuge somewhere else and become invasive there.

And with "we" I don't mean you or me - I mean the morbidly rich!
I'm not blaming anyone but the 1%. They are the ones that have everything and cause everything.

There are a lot of solutions for this crisis, but we can't realize them without creating a system that prevents morbid abundance.
If the 99% decide to eat less meat, so we don't need so much land for our food - will that really save the rainforests or will it just free up more land for the rich to build more golf courses, factories and AI server farms?

We need to talk about a wealth maximum, an income maximum and an interest maximum. Then we'll realize we don't need endless growth, we don't need exploitation of the 99% and the ecosystem, we won't need 3 full time jobs to 'make a living' and we won't need mindless consumption to numb ourselves in our spare time.
