This morning I lay witness to perhaps 20% of the entire Swift Parrot population.

Thrill and despair in the same scene. To think they could be extinct within a decade.

We need to do more. Their value is greater than that of harvested timber.

An exciting observation - the first time ever recorded: a wild orangutan uses a plant called Akar Kuning - an anti-inflammatory & anti-bacterial plant - to treat a wound.

Our closest relative deserves our high respect & far greater protection

WE'RE DOING THE WA PREMIER FOR DEFFO!

In the existential battle between Woodside and Gen Z, guess whose side Roger Cook chose? 🤔
