Flying foxes in NSW and Victoria face mass starvation amid food shortages "Emaciated grey-headed flying fox. ‘They’re crawling around on the ground eating unripe dropped fruit, and quite literally dropping out of trees due to starvation.’ " "Flying foxes are starving en masse across New South Wales and parts of Victoria, with wildlife rescuers responding to a surge in reports of “exhausted and emaciated” adults and skeletal pups. They are now facing food shortages across NSW, from the northern rivers to the south coast, according to the state’s environment department." "Tamsyn Hogarth, director of the Fly By Night Bat Clinic, said rescuers in Victoria were seeing many “exhausted and emaciated” bats and starving babies “like little skeletons”, which appeared to be coming from NSW...The food shortages followed thousands of heat deaths this summer, and came amid disruptions to Melbourne’s Yarra Bend camp from freeway construction works. “They’re copping it everywhere, they can’t catch a break.” >> https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/oct/14/flying-foxes-in-nsw-and-victoria-face-mass-starvation-amid-food-shortages #biodiversity #bats #wildlife #MassStarvation #GreyHeadedFlyingFoxes #pollinators #NSW #FossilFuels #climate #harm #starvation #heatwaves #roads

The #HighCourt has found planning authorities are required to consider local #climatechange effects when approving #fossilfuel projects. 3 of the 5 judges found in favour of a Hunter Valley residents' group, which halted the #MountPleasant mine expansion last year in the #NSW Court of Appeal. The High Court agreed & the case is expected to have national implications for the way fossil fuel project approvals take #globalemissions & local climate change impacts into account. #auspol

“Runaway” land-clearing in NSW "Almost 90 football fields of woody habitat were bulldozed e v e r y d a y in NSW – despite pledges to rein it in." “Given there’s been no policy change since the government were elected in 2023 it’s no surprise to see that land clearing hasn’t been fixed." “Every hectare of trees bulldozed means fewer homes for wildlife and more carbon pollution in the atmosphere." >> https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/jul/21/nsw-land-clearing-increase-report #biodiversity #climate #harm #LandClearing #NSW #LoggingIndustry #crime #destruction #extractivism #regulation #wildlife #ScorchedEarth

"Data centres, coal mine extensions and methane are snags to NSW reaching net zero targets." "All emissions associated with these projects make achieving the emissions reduction targets harder....The NSW Net Zero Commission (NZC) annual progress report found the state is falling increasingly further behind on reducing emissions." >> https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-23/net-zero-authority-nsw-annual-report-coal-data-impacts/106948568 #climate #NSW #coal #meat #DataCentres #water #extractivism #pollution

Coal mine extensions and data centres hindering NSW net zero targets

The NSW Net Zero Commission recommends tighter planning controls for the approval of coal extensions and data centres, as it predicts the state will fall short of its legislated 2030 emissions reduction target.
