• Greta Thunberg and George Monbiot on the climate crisis

• Our climate is breaking down.
•  Children like me are giving up their education to protest. 
• But we can still fix this. A tree is an example of a natural climate solution. 
• These natural climate solutions could make a massive difference.
•  Natural climate solutions get just two percent of all the money used on tackling climate breakdown. 
•  We spend one thousand times more on global fossil fuel subsidies than on natural-based solutions.
•  Up to 200 species are going extinct every single day.
•  Tropical forests are being cut down.

       SUMMARY.

The early stages of a massive extinction. A deteriorating climate. It can occur everywhere. We spend one thousand times more on global fossil fuel subsidies than on natural-based solutions. Up to 200 species are going extinct every single day. We need to stop funding things that destroy nature and pay for things that help it. All around the world, there are amazing movements fighting for nature.

          Australia must control its killer cat problem. A major new report explains how, but doesn’t go far enough.

• Australia must control its killer cat problem. 
• Cats kill a staggering of Australia’s 34 mammal extinctions. 
• 65 native mammal species can’t persist, in places with even very low numbers of cats or foxes.
• Ecologists for many years researching Australia’s cat dilemma.
•  Strategies :pet cat registration, subsidised programs for early age desexing, public education pet cat ownership, and rules and legislation nationally.
•  Australia have prevented 13 mammal species from going extinct, such as boodies and greater stick-nest rats.  

          SUMMARY.

    While cats make excellent pets and can bring emotional, psychological and health benefits to the owners, animals are a plague to native wildlife. The report reiterates the need to cull wild cats and set new targets for culling, without specifying which targets. We agree that culling is important, especially in sites where wildlife is threatened and extremely vulnerable.
