  • The Wilderness Society
    Australia's Faunal Extinction Crisis Senate Inquiry Submission: The Wilderness Society Summary Our magnificent biodiversity and native animals are unique in the world, and have strong cultural and social value to Australians of all backgrounds. Australians depend on thriving ecosystems for their well-being and prosperity, and extinction fundamentally threatens the healthy functioning of those ecosystems. Australia has one of the world’s worst records for extinction and protection of animal species. Australia is ranked first in the world for mammal extinctions, second in the world for ongoing biodiversity loss, and the pace of our extinction crisis is quickening, with the extinction rate likely to double in the next 20 years. Australia has significant international obligations to prevent the extinction of Australia’s animal species. We are also morally, ethically, intergenerationally and practically obliged to end our extinction crisis. However, systemic failures in current Commonwealth environment laws and protections for faunal species ensures we cannot meet those obligations. Under these laws, we have no enforceable mechanisms to end threats to animals and their habitat. Existing protection mechanisms like recovery plans and critical habitat listings are out of date, not implemented and not funded, if they exist at all. The National Reserve System remains important but offers minimal protection where our wildlife is most under threat from human activity. Most worryingly, we have so little data that we do not know the current status and trend of most Australian species, and monitoring of recovery actions is largely non-existent. Australia needs to act quickly to stem the tide of extinction. In the short term, Australia must implement and fully fund existing protection mechanisms and stop threats to wildlife habitat.

  • Synemon Gratiosa (Graceful Sun Moth) Was Delisted from the Threatened Category Under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 on 6 November 2012
    The Minister deleted this species from the endangered category, effective from 18/05/2013 Advice to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) on amendment to the list of Threatened Species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Reason for Conservation Assessment by the Committee This advice follows assessment of information gathered through the Commonwealth’s partnership with Western Australia, which is aimed at systematically reviewing species that are inconsistently listed under the EPBC Act and relevant state legislation/lists. Synemon gratiosa (graceful sun moth) was delisted from the threatened category under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 on 6 November 2012. It is now included in a non-legislative category of P4 (near threatened) on the Western Australian Priority Fauna List. It was listed as endangered under the EPBC Act in 2009. The Committee provides the following assessment of the appropriateness of the species’ deletion from the EPBC Act list of threatened species. Synemon gratiosa (graceful sun moth) 2. Summary of Species Details Taxonomy Conventionally accepted as Synemon gratiosa Westwood, J.O. 1877. State/Territory Listing Included in a non legislative category as ‘near threatened’ on Status the Western Australian Priority Fauna List. Description The graceful sun moth is a medium-sized diurnal flying sun moth that is similar in appearance to a butterfly (WAISS, 1993). It has a wingspan of 25–35 mm with females generally larger than males. The upper surface of the forewings is dark grey, whereas the upper surface of the hind wings and the entire underside of all the wings are bright orange, with some dark grey markings.

    GOLDEN SUN MOTH SYNEMON PLANA ACTION PLAN 186 Golden Sun Moth Action Plan PREAMBLE The Golden Sun Moth (Synemon plana Walker, 1854) was declared an endangered species on 15 April 1996 (Instrument No. DI1996-29 under the Nature Conservation Act 1980). Under section 101 of the Nature Conservation Act 2014, the Conservator of Flora and Fauna is responsible for preparing a draft action plan for listed species. The first action plan for this species was prepared in 1998 (ACT Government 1998). This revised edition supersedes the earlier edition. This action plan includes the ACT Native Grassland Conservation Strategy set out in schedule 1 to the ‘Nature Conservation (Native Grassland) Action Plans 2017’, to the extent it is relevant. Measures proposed in this action plan complement those proposed in the action plans for Natural Temperate Grassland, Yellow Box/Red Gum Grassy Woodland, and component threatened species such as the Striped Legless Lizard (Delma impar) and the Grassland Earless Dragon (Tympanocryptis pinguicolla). need to maintain natural evolutionary CONSERVATION STATUS processes.

  • On All Saints and All Souls
    Remembering Eco-Martyrs and All of Creation on All Saints and All Souls BACKGROUND Each year on November 1 and 2, Catholics around the world remember and pray for our loved ones and the community of saints who have died and returned home to God, Creator of Life. This year, GCCM invites you to remember the countless number of martyrs who have been killed in their defense of the natural world. We also invite you to pray for members of our Earth community that have gone extinct, and forplaces in the natural world that havebeen wounded by human choices and systemic policies of consumption, extraction, and exploitation. In the same way we pray, light candles, and visit the dearly beloved who have passed on to eternal life, may these days of All Saints and All Souls be a time when we honor the earth and all living creatures with whom we share this common home. Please use the prayer below to remember some of the eco-martyrs, places, and creatures who have passed on to God. PRAYER OF CREATION FOR ALL SAINTS AND ALL SOULS DAY God of all Creation, Today we remember all life that has journeyed back to You. We remember family and friends Who have closely touched our lives.. We remember our sisters and brothers Who are nameless to us but form part of our global family. We remember our eco-martyr sisters and brothers Who have had their lives violently and unjustly taken from them for their defense of Creation. We remember creatures big and small, Which through human-induced extinction no longer roam the land, soar through the skies, or swim in the oceans.
