Former Greens leader Adam Bandt, the ACF’s new chief executive, described the year-on-year doubling as “really distressing”.
“A lot of people don’t know that Australia is a global deforestation hotspot … every year, we lose more forest than the loss from the entire palm oil industry in Indonesia,” he said. “The nature that we love is under threat like never before.”
The ACF report also noted that 42 new plants and animals were added to Australia’s list of species facing extinction.
WTF is wrong with voters that they rhink this endless stream of environmental destruction leaving a dead planet is ok ?
Anything but metric…
What’s wrong with voters is that many don’t care and many more don’t realise the implications till it’s too late. Most people are self-centred and consider ‘the environment’ as non essential or even some kind of greeny. hipster sort of fad. Some people actually hate nature.
