The Conversation, LINK, has developed a very interesting web app, LINK, that enables voters to discover the species of plants and animals that are listed as threatened within their electorate by simply entering their postcode.
As the front article points out, so far, not much is being said by any party about protection of threatened species. Should we care?
The Conversation also gives tips on how politicians could help our threatened species such as required funding, targeted policies, legislative reform, etc.
Among the species listed for postcode 3818 is the ‘Threatened’ Southern Brown Bandicoot and the ‘Vulnerable’ Swamp Greenhood.
It is pretty obvious that our native plants and animals are not only impacted by processes such as climate change, infestation of weeds and pest animals, bushfire and habitat loss due to urbanization and forestry activity but also by inert political agendas.
