"Australia’s State of the Environment Report was finally released today – and
its findings are a staggering picture of loss and devastation.

As a conservation scientist, I’ve spent the last decade helping governments,
community groups and individuals better manage our environment. But the report
reveals things are getting worse.

I’m disappointed, but not surprised. I’ve seen firsthand the devastation
wrought by threats such as bushfires and land clearing.

I remain hopeful we can turn the crisis around. But it will take money,
government commitment and public support to protect and recover our precious
natural places."

Cheers,
