The arrival of over 90 Orange-bellied parrots to their summer breeding grounds in Lutruwita/Tasmania is welcome news.
The decision by PWS to clear critical habitat for endangered bird species on Maria Island to build a wastewater treatment plant is astounding and the wrong priority.
These are animals, birds, insects, fish and all manner of other life, many of which live nowhere else on earth. They are glorious and special.
Deputy Speaker, it has been a horrific week in terms of the news of what is happening to Tasmania's wildlife.
Honourable Speaker, I move: That the House takes note of the following Matter: war on wildlife.
The government's committed $2 million a year over four years to threatened species. With 680 threatened species in Tasmania, that works out at just under $3000 a year per species.
This National Threatened Species Day, the Greens are calling on the Liberal Government to take real action to protect Tasmania’s native animals from the threats caused by industry and development.
We did the work on the numbers of jobs in the industry and looking at an alternative.
The Tasmanian Greens are proud to launch our plan to help save the Maugean skate and support the Strahan community transition away from unsustainable fish farm operations in Macquarie Harbour.
The Supreme Court's decision to halt logging in Southern Tasmanian swift parrot habitat is a huge win for this endangered species, and continues to stain the Liberals' log-at-all-cost operations across the state.
