Thank you so much for reading and for your thoughtful comment. I feel that same mix—interest and sadness—and I think sitting with both is part of the work. If there’s one thing we can do, it’s stay awake to what’s happening, especially when it’s uncomfortable.
As for other ways to help: there are people and projects doing the slow, hopeful work of restoration all around us. Conservation groups like WWF Australia, Bush Heritage Australia, and Koala Conservation Australia are protecting habitats, building wildlife corridors, and caring for injured animals. Citizen science is another powerful way to contribute—platforms like iNaturalist and FrogID (run by the Australian Museum) let everyday observations feed into real conservation research. I’ve been gradually building my own record on iNaturalist under the username domofutu, if you're curious to explore or join in.
Even small acts—planting native species, volunteering locally, staying curious—can help tip the scales. And honestly, just engaging in this conversation matters more than we tend to think. Thanks again for being part of it.
This was very interest & sad at the same time. How can we help?
