I’m treading on loose soil here because I’m a US citizen, so I can’t pretend to understand or know what Australia wants to do. But, in light of the global climate and biodiversity crisis, more FUCKING COAL???? Keep it in the ground and preserve your land for future generations of humans and other species.

Excerpt from this story from EcoWatch:

A new mine proposed for Queensland, Australia would require 1,023.6 hectares of koala habitat to be cleared for construction. The project would also remove more than 70 hectares of habitat for greater gliders, two species of which were recently listed as endangered earlier this month.

Koalas and greater gliders are both endangered, with koalas being officially listed in February 2022. Yet the proposed coal mine project, called Vulcan South, by private company Vitrinite Pty Ltd is not required to release an environmental impact statement (EIS) and is being considered by the government whether or not to move forward.

The company estimates the coal mine would produce 1.95 million metric tons of coal per year. Mines producing 2 million metric tons of coal per year require an EIS. Opponents argue that this is just one example of a “disturbing trend” of companies falling just barely behold the thresholds to avoid the EIS process, The Guardian reported.

A neighboring mine, Vulcan, by Vitrinite has already been approved as of March 2022 with the same expected output of 1.95 million metric tons of coal annually. This approved Vulcan Mine project will clear away 200 hectares of koala habitat for development. Vitrinite has said it will “conservatively offset the affected habitat” for the proposed Vulcan South project and claimed the coal mine would have minimal impacts on koalas in the long-term.

“What’s the point of uplisting a species to endangered if you’re then going to just allow more and more habitat for that species to be cleared?” David Lindenmayer, ecologist and professor for the Australian National University said. Lindenmayer further said the current system in Australia is set up to make the country the “extinction capital of the planet.”
