Unfortunately more cases of bird flu have been confirmed in SA as well as the first case detected in Victoria.

South Australians are encouraged to continue being vigilant in reporting sick and dead birds and other wildlife.

📆 TOMORROW! Be sure to come down to Yitpi Yartapuultiku tomorrow for the First Nations Community Climate Action Day for Adelaide Climate Action Week.

A community led day connecting First Nations people through conversation to inspire climate action, community impact and caring for Country.

Led by First Nations voices, the day brings community together, First Nations and our Ally brothers and sisters allies to explore climate action and what it means to us through a First Nations perspective to create positive actions and change.

Through workshops, discussions and collaborative conversations, participants will connect, share ideas, learn from one another and identify practical actions that create lasting impact for Country and Community.

See you there! ❤️🖤💛💙💚

🔔 Bird Flu Update: local transmission in SA "very, very likely"

Bird flu has been confirmed in seven wild seabirds, with further testing underway to confirm if the disease is now spreading through local populations.

SA government expects results from the testing lab on Wednesday or Thursday to verify whether the disease is spreading locally between wild birds.

Australian of the Year Awards

Today we teamed up with Climate Action Network Australia, and handed out a whopping 500 "Tax Gas Not Beer" stubby holders!

Pressure has been mounting on Labor to fix Australia's broken gas tax system, and the message seems to be landing. We spotted many Labor politicians taking one, alongside journos, delegates and union officals.

A huge thanks to all the volunteers who made it happen!

Last week some of our wonderful Conservation SA volunteers spoke to Tony Zappia MP and Mark Butler MP about our 1% for nature funding ask!

This year just 0.06% of the federal budget is committed to nature - that's almost 17x less than what conservation experts agree is needed to reverse Australia's nature crisis.

Thank you to our awesome volunteers Robyn, Terry, Tony and Erika for leading their meeting with Tony Zappia MP and for supporting our 1% for nature ask.

Thank you as well to Ekkehard, Monica, Margaret and Murray for meeting with Mark Butler MP.

Nature needs just 1% of the federal budget to be protected for future generations. Add your voice via the link in bio. 💚

Calling all birders! 🦆🦜🦉

You can now play an important role in SA's H5 bird flu response as a new training partnership launches for our members.

Conservation SA, BirdLife Australia and Birds SA - Australia have partnered with the State Government to deliver this program which has been co-designed with all three groups, combining local expertise on coastal and wetland wildlife with the Government's current response plans.

Stay tuned for more details!
