SUMMARY:National Landcare Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:2023 LANDCARE WEEK:\n\n\n\nBe inspired\, be empowered\, be a landcarer\n\n\n\nMonday 7 – Sunday 13 August\, 2023\n\n\n\nLandcare Week is an annual celebration of landcare held during the first week of August to acknowledge the Australians who are actively restoring\, enhancing and protecting the natural environment in their community. \n\n\n\nWith over 6\,000 groups and 140\,000+ volunteers\, the landcare movement encompasses farmers and farming systems groups\, landowners\, landcare groups and networks\, Traditional Owners\, Bushcare and ‘Friends of’ groups\, Coastcare\, Dunecare and Rivercare groups\, Landcare facilitators and coordinators\, youth groups and other community groups involved in protecting\, enhancing or restoring their local environment. The Junior Landcare program also provides a pathway for children to become lifelong landcarers starting with early learning childhood centres through to primary and secondary schools. \n\n\n\nThis Landcare Week we’re showcasing how Landcare Is For Everyone and celebrating the achievements of all\, from farmers planting wildlife corridors on their properties to students learning about biodiversity and where their food comes from\, to community groups creating native seedbanks to businesses encouraging their staff to volunteer with landcare groups – there are opportunities for everyone to take action with landcare. Landcare brings everyone together to actively be involved in conservation land management\, improve biodiversity and promote sustainable agriculture. \n\n\n\nThe theme for this year’s Landcare Week is: ‘Be inspired\, be empowered\, be a landcarer’. We will be showcasing people across Australia who are involved in landcare and why they volunteer with landcare to inspire others to feel empowered to get involved in their local landcare or other community environmental group in their area. If you would like to find a group near you to get involved during Landcare week\, click here. \n\n\n\nStay tuned to our social media pages as we share incredible landcare stories from around Australia that showcase the work that the volunteers are doing and why they do what they do. \n\n\n\nYou can post your stories in the comments on our social pages and share the Landcare Week posts to your own pages or promote your own stories on your social pages. Don’t forget to use the hashtags #landcare#landcareweek #BeInspired  #BeEmpowered  #BeALandcarer  and tag @landcareaustralia so we can engage with your post. \n\n\n\nFind out more: https://landcareaustralia.org.au/landcareweek/

SUMMARY:National Bilby Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:The second Sunday of September is National Bilby Day in Australia. \n\n\n\nBackgroundNational Bilby Day was officially launched in 2005 and the celebrations are held on the second Sunday of September. \n\n\n\nBilbies\, or rabbit-bandicoots\, are desert-dwelling marsupial omnivores; they are members of the order Peramelemorphia. At the time of European colonisation of Australia\, there were two species. The lesser bilby became extinct in the 1950s; the greater bilby survives but remains endangered. It is currently listed as a vulnerable species. \n\n\n\nThe term bilby is a loanword from the Yuwaalaraay Aboriginal language of northern New South Wales\, meaning long-nosed rat. It is known as dalgite in Western Australia\, and the nickname pinkie is sometimes used in South Australia. The Wiradjuri of New South Wales also call it “bilby.” \n\n\n\nSave the Bilby FundSave the Bilby Fund is committed to the recovery of wild populations of bilby and saving the species from extinction. The Fund undertakes direct action in bilby conservation and engages community support through education and raising awareness. \n\n\n\nFind out more: savethebilbyfund.org

SUMMARY:Save the Koala Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE KOALA DAY IS COMING ON THE 29th of SEPTEMBER 2023\n\n\n\nSave the Koala Day is observed annually on the last Friday of September. It was created to raise awareness of the dangers that koalas face on a daily basis and highlight the importance of conserving their natural habitat. \n\n\n\nThe koala\, sometimes inaccurately called koala bear\, is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to coastal areas of eastern and southern Australia. Koalas can be found in the states of New South Wales\, Queensland\, South Australia\, and Victoria. Although koalas resemble bears\, the two animals are not related at all. The koala is the only extant species of the genus Phascolarctos. Its closest living relative is the wombat. \n\n\n\nKoalas spend most of their time in eucalyptus trees which they feed on. Although the genus Eucalyptus consists of more then 600 species\, koalas show a strong preference for the foliage of around 30 of them. Due to eucalyptus leaves having a high water content\, koalas don’t have to drink often. However\, larger koalas do require additional sources of water\, contrary to a popular misconception that koalas don’t drink at all. \n\n\n\nSince the foliage of eucalyptus isn’t a particularly great source of energy\, koalas sleep or rest up to 20 hours a day to limit their energy use and spend most of their waking time eating. They spend most of their time in trees and descend to the ground only when they need to move to another tree. Koalas are asocial animals and don’t interact much with one another with the exception of mothers and their offspring (by the way\, young koalas are called joeys). \n\n\n\nThe koala is classified as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Read List of Threatened Species. The main threat faced by koalas is the destruction and fragmentation of habitat caused by urbanization in coastal areas and by land clearing in rural areas. Other threats include attacks by domestic dogs\, wildlife-vehicle collisions\, bushfires\, droughts\, and the effects of climate change. \n\n\n\nFind out more: https://www.savethekoala.com/how-to-help/save-the-koala-month/

SUMMARY:Coastcare Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Coastcare Week is an annual campaign celebrated during the first week of December that acknowledges the Australians who are actively restoring\, enhancing and protecting the coastline\, waterways\, habitat and biodiversity in their community. \n\n\n\n7 Coastcare tips you can do all year round. \n\n\n\n\nAt the beach\, keep on the walking tracks. This protects the vegetation that provides habitat for local native birds and other animals and prevents erosion.\n\n\n\nWoof woof! Ensure your dogs are kept on a lead in areas where dune vegetation is vulnerable. Landcare and Coastcare groups work on these sites to enhance the habitat for native animals toprotect them.\n\n\n\nTake a bag with you to the beach to collect rubbish on your next walk.\n\n\n\nEvery piece of plastic removed from the marine environment can save an animal’s life and reduce the amount of microplastic created. Pick up rubbish and recycle.\n\n\n\nTake the slow lane\, walk instead of driving on beaches (4WD on beaches can rip up plants\, destroy sea bird nests and eggs\, destroy the sediment profile and more).\n\n\n\nUse reef safe sunblock to protect marine life from harmful chemicals.\n\n\n\nVolunteer with your local group and support their community events or donate to help them buy materials for their activities.\n\n\n\n\nJunior Landcare Learning Activities – for schools\, youth groups and community groups: \n\n\n\n\nWaterways: Clean up and Behaviour change\n\n\n\nWaterways: Behaviour change\n\n\n\nExploring the Story of Water\n\n\n\nCatchment Management Series\n\n\n\nCaring for our Coasts: Beach Survey\n\n\n\nCaring for our Coasts: Beach Clean-up\n\n\n\n\nConnect with us\n\n\n\nIf you are a Coastcare\, Landcare\, Bushcare\, Dunecare or Rivercare or any other environmental community group\, and you have resources or ideas that you know would be useful for other groups across Australia – please contact us at enquiries@landcareaustralia.com.au or get connected with us here:  Coastcare \n\n\n\nCoastcare Website  >>

SUMMARY:Soil Week Australia 2023
DESCRIPTION:Soil and water\, a source of life\n\n\n\nOur planet’s survival depends on the precious link between soil and water. Over 95 percent of our food originates from these two fundamental resources. Soil water\, vital for nutrient absorption by plants\, binds our ecosystems together. This symbiotic relationship is the foundation of our agricultural systems. \n\n\n\nHowever\, in the face of climate change and human activity\, our soils are being degraded\, putting excessive pressure on our water resources. Erosion disrupts the natural balance\, reducing water infiltration and availability for all forms of life. \n\n\n\nSustainable soil management practices\, such as minimum tillage\, crop rotation\, organic matter addition\, and cover cropping\, improve soil health\, reduce erosion and pollution\, and enhance water infiltration and storage. These practices also preserve soil biodiversity\, improve fertility\, and contribute to carbon sequestration\, playing a crucial role in the fight against climate change. \n\n\n\nWorld Soil Day 2023 (WSD) and its campaign aim to raise awareness of the importance and relationship between soil and water in achieving sustainable and resilient agrifood systems. WSD is a unique global platform that not only celebrates soils but also empowers and engages citizens around the world to improve soil health. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoil Week Australia is an initiative of Healthy Soils Australia which is a not-for-profit organisation. \n\n\n\nSoil Week is raising awareness of the importance and benefits of healthy living soil and empowering the people of Australia to take action. We want everyone to fall in love with healthy living soil. \n\n\n\nSoil Week Australia Website  >>

SUMMARY:International Day of Clean Energy 2024
DESCRIPTION:The International Day of Clean Energy on 26 January was declared by the General Assembly (resolution A/77/327) as a call to raise awareness and mobilize action for a just and inclusive transition to clean energy for the benefit of people and the planet. \n\n\n\nAdopting clean energy is integral to the fight against climate change. A large chunk of the greenhouse gases that blanket the Earth and trap the Sun’s heat are generated through energy production\, by burning fossil fuels (oil\, coal\, and gas) to generate electricity and heat. \n\n\n\nThe science is clear: to limit climate change\, we need to end our reliance on fossil fuels and invest in alternative sources of energy that are clean\, accessible\, affordable\, sustainable\, and reliable. Renewable energy sources – which are available in abundance all around us\, provided by the sun\, wind\, water\, waste\, and heat from the Earth – are replenished by nature and emit little to no greenhouse gases or pollutants into the air. \n\n\n\nMore Information >>

SUMMARY:World Wetlands Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:World Wetlands Day is celebrated internationally each year on 2 February. It marks the anniversary of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar Convention) in Ramsar\, Iran\, on 2 February 1971. \n\n\n\nSince 1997\, World Wetlands Day has been used to: \n\n\n\n\nraise public awareness of wetland values and benefits\n\n\n\npromote the conservation and wise use of wetlands.\n\n\n\n\nJoin in on the day. Attend a seminar or festival\, help with a revegetation project or go on a bird walk. \n\n\n\nWe will be celebrating this anniversary throughout the year. \n\n\n\nHistory\n\n\n\nAustralia was one of the 5 founding nations to sign the Convention. We also designated the world’s first Wetland of International Importance (Ramsar wetland) under the Convention. This was the Cobourg Peninsula\, Northern Territory\, in 1974. \n\n\n\nAustralia continues to play an important role. We help manage and implement the Convention\, internationally\, in the Oceania and in Australia. \n\n\n\nAustralia has 66 Ramsar wetlands\, covering every state and territory. They cover more than 8.3 million hectares. \n\n\n\nIconic Australian sites include: \n\n\n\n\nKakadu National Park (NT)\n\n\n\nRoebuck Bay (WA)\n\n\n\nGippsland Lakes (Vic)\n\n\n\nMoreton Bay (Qld)\n\n\n\nBlue Lake (NSW)\n\n\n\nMacquarie Marshes (NSW)\n\n\n\nCoorong (SA)\n\n\n\n\nWorldwide\, there are 170 Contracting Parties to the Convention and over 2\,400 listed Ramsar wetlands. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorld wetlands day website
