Over the past decade biodiversity funding ⬇️ 25% relative to GDP.
There was nothing in the budget to change this - ⬇️ 0.1% of the budget will support biodiversity.
Will it take a minority Govt to see investment in protecting the places & species we love?

👀Marcelina’s incredible northward journey continues! 👀
She’s just arrived on the Warburton Creek in the far north-east of SA, 950 km from where we caught her on Jan. 3rd near Balranald. Documenting long distance APS movements for the first time is all thanks to crowdfunding! 🙏

It's that time of year when I start to populate the interview schedule for @einstein_agogo on @3RRRFM.
So if you know somebody who would be a good guest, DM me.
PhDs, ECRs particularly welcome.
Would love to hear from more geologists this year too.
