A new report by the Australian Conservation Foundation, ACF\u2019s \u201cExtinction Wrapped\u201d<\/u><\/a> , has revealed that more than half of the Australian animal species newly threatened with extinction live in NSW. The report also highlights that the total number of new species threatened with extinction has risen by 41 to a total of 2,138 (as well as 107 ecological communities being threatened with extinction).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greens MP and spokesperson for the environment Sue Higginson<\/strong> said \u201cThis report absolutely slams the promise from the NSW and Federal Labor Governments that there would be no new extinctions on their watch,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe truth is, the Albanese Government more than doubled the area of threatened species habitat approved to be cleared between 2023 and 2024 – as well as walking away from their proposed National environment regulator,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Minns Labor Government in NSW is fully culpable for abandoning our environment and nature, with the Great Koala National Park still being logged almost two years after Labor were elected to protect it, and changes to biodiversity offsets that were pushed through Parliament on the last sitting day of 2024, will still allow critically endangered species\u2019 habitat to be cleared. It\u2019s political failure,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe decline in biodiversity in NSW and Australia is a crisis for all of us, we rely on a healthy environment to live. It\u2019s shocking that neither NSW or Federal Labor understand nor care enough about this,\u201d Ms Higginson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
