Extinction is a choice

The Endangered Southern Black-Throated Finch will plummet towards extinction if Adani's Carmichael mine goes ahead as planned.

Put simply, Adani’s Carmichael mine will destroy the best remaining habitat in an area that is home to the largest known Black-Throated Finch population.

A  report submitted to Federal Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg reveals a 'fundamentally flawed' offset plan that will have grave consequences for the future of this bird.

The 'offsets' proposed to mitigate the devastating impact of this mine are totally inadequate – you simply cannot replace the best Black-Throated Finch habitat left on Earth.

The 'offsets' proposed to mitigate the devastating impact of this mine are totally inadequate – you simply cannot replace the best Black-Throated Finch habitat left on Earth.

The Adani Carmichael mine must not be allowed to go ahead without a clear and achievable plan to protect the Black-Throated Finch from extinction.

I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the recent report released by the Black-Throated Finch Recovery Team revealing that the current offset plans for the Adani mine will lead to further decline of the Southern Black-Throated Finch.

Adani’s proposed Carmichael mine encompasses most of the best remaining habitat for the Endangered Black-Throated Finch and a significant proportion of the largest known surviving population.

This bird has already lost 80 per cent of its former range over the last thirty years. Losing this rich habitat would dramatically increase the probability of extinction for this species.

Experts have assessed the offsets proposal put forward by Adani and found them to be totally inadequate. Furthermore, there is no evidence that offsets are a viable option for safeguarding the future of this species.

Please act on the recommendations of the Recovery Team and uphold your responsibility to safeguard critical habitat of the  Black-Throated Finch to ensure its long-term survival.
