Southern Black-throated Finch

Sign

Over the past 30 years, the Endangered Southern Black-throated Finch has seen its range contract by over 80% and is now listed as Extinct in New South Wales. The largest remaining stronghold for the species is in the Galilee Basin where numerous coal mines are proposed, including Adani’s controversial Carmichael coal mine.

Earlier this year the Queensland Government announced an independent expert review of Adani’s Black-throated Finch Management Plan to be completed by an independent panel. Following this review, the Queensland Government rejected the plan and and told Adani to come back with a better one.

But in the wake of the Federal election, the Queensland Government is being pressured to rush an approval of Adani’s Black-throated Finch Management Plan by this Friday.

If the management plan is approved the controversial coal mine will be one step closer to reality - pushing the Endangered Southern Black-throated Finch to the edge of extinction.  

Join us in calling on the Queensland Premier to follow science and not rush through the Black-throated Finch Management Plan.

Petition Premier Palaszczuk

Dear The Hon. Annastacia Palaszczuk Premier of Queenland,

Premier Palaszczuk please don’t let Adani’s destructive Carmichael coal mine go ahead.

The Queensland Government’s decision to approve Adani’s Black-throated Finch and groundwater management plans pushes this Endangered bird to the edge of extinction.

The Southern Black-throated Finch has seen its habitat shrink by 80% and is already extinct in New South Wales. Now its largest remaining stronghold is right in the footprint of Adani’s Carmichael coal mine.

And yet, the Queensland Government has not used its power to protect these threatened bird’s remaining habitat and reject this mining proposal.

Premier, this could be extinction in real time.

In the last 200 years, Australia has lost 29 birds to extinction and we continue to be a global extinction hotspot. According to a recent UN report, one million species are at risk of extinction globally.

Australians don’t want to see more species become extinct on our watch.

Let’s not allow the Southern Black-throated Finch to be the 30th bird that we lose forever.

Premier please stand up for our natural heritage and native birdlife. Please don’t allow this coal mine to go ahead.
