 The NSW Government is sending mixed messages on water conservation by easing water restrictions one week and then embarking on a $2.15 million water saving advertising campaign the next.
Our rainfall will be more variable under climate change and we must all continue to use water efficiently now to meet the demands of future dry periods.
The Government has shown it is out of touch with the people of NSW who
have adapted well to water restrictions and did not ask for water saving measures to be lifted. |

 Good news - opposition from environment and animal welfare groups, and the community has helped influence State Cabinet's decision not to support the Game and Feral Animal Control Amendment Bill.
Introduced into the NSW Upper House by the Shooters Party this month, the Bill proposed opening up recreational shooting in our national parks, threatening native animals and jeopardising the safety of park users.
Several species of birds and four species of kangaroos were on the hit list of native species that would become fair game for licensed hunters under this legislation. Duck hunting would also have been reintroduced to NSW. |

 The Nature Conservation Council of NSW and leading national and state environment groups have come together to make it clear we do not support the Federal Government’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) in its current form.
We’re concerned the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are already above safe levels, and the CPRS will not effectively reduce carbon pollution.
We’ve put together a Plan B of measures that could be enacted in the next two years and would set Australian up to meet the vital target of halving our greenhouse pollution over the coming decade.
The environment groups behind Plan B, with a combined membership of more than 400,000 Australians, call on the Rudd Government to abandon the fundamentally flawed CPRS and commit Australia to this new approach to tackle climate change.

 Concerns have been raised about the environmental impact of the size and scope of expansion proposed in the Wahroonga Estate Redevelopment, a site incorporating the Sydney Adventist Hospital in Sydney’s upper north.
The development will add a K-12 School for about 800 pupils; expand a church precinct and commercial office space by 50 per cent; and include 2000 square metres of retail space with a supermarket, 36 townhouses and 622 high-density residences.
Community-based environmental organisation, STEP, is particularly worried the development will destroy significant tracts of ecologically important Blue Gum High Forest, a critically endangered ecological community protected under Federal and State legislation. The forest is arguably the largest remaining in the area outside of Dalrymple Hay Reserve, yet only three per cent will be retained under curren plans. |

 Woodchip activities across NSW, Tasmania and Victoria are being shutdown by conservationists today in a national day of action against the environmental damage caused by the native forest woodchipping industry.
Conservationists are outraged at the Federal Government's failure to address the role of native forests in dealing with the climate crisis and are calling on Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to protect Australia’s forest from export woodchipping.
NSW's South East was one of the first targets of direct action designed to block log deliveries and urge an end to woodchipping of native forests. |

 Threatened and endangered sharks are being killed for their fins in Australia in huge numbers. Already 90 per cent of the world’s sharks have been wiped out.
Shark catches in the NSW beach meshing program reflect this dramatic decline. Despite this, the NSW government has allowed a recent and massive expansion of a shark fishery that exists purely because of the high value of their fins in Asian export markets. You can help to end unsustainable shark fishing by joining us in calling for a ban on shark fin exports from Australia.
Send a cyberaction asking Federal Minister for the Environment, Peter Garrett, to protect these vulnerable marine icons by banning shark fin exports by clicking on the Take Action button below.  |

 Have your say on the Federal Government's recently announced CPRS amendments.
The Nature Conservation Council of NSW has coordinated the sign on of key environmental and community groups to a joint statement to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd expressing our serious concerns about the 2020 emissions reduction target, the influence of the carbon pollution lobby and the fundamental flaws of the CPRS.
Please join us in letting the Federal Government know the community demands real action, not token efforts, to secure Australia's climate future. |
