"These mountainous #rainforests are a relic of the ancient continent of #Gondwana, dating back million of years when #Australia and parts of #Antarctica were covered in #rainforest. While much of the rest of Australia has dried out, the Wet #Tropics have stayed wet."

Introducing Diuqin lechiguanae https://paleonerdish.wordpress.com/2024/06/22/introducing-diuqin-lechiguanae/ by @Ferwen
"The #fossil record of basal #paravians in #Gondwana is restricted to a relatively small number of taxa. South American paravians are included within the clade #Unenlagiidae... #Diuqin lechiguanae is a new unenlagiine from the Upper #Cretaceous (Santonian) Bajo de la Carpa Formation of the Neuquén Basin of #Neuquén Province in northern #Patagonia, #Argentina."
Australian biodiversity conservation and 'fighting the government.'
"A rare legal win for an ecologist over a violent confrontation with NSW loggers exposed years of intimidation from corporate forestry representatives and law enforcement ."
"In environmental science circles, state surveillance and persecution of an ecologist whose findings refute or debunk state land management practices surprises no one. Last year, the International Science Council, a body representing more than 250 organisations, summarised that “the findings of environmental scientists … have long triggered censorship, intimidation, harassment and even violence when these challenge economic interests, political agendas, or ideologies”. It reported that scientists “have been physically attacked, wrongfully detained, and killed for their research and advocacy … threats and attacks are widespread in virtually all fields examining human impact on the environment”.
"A 2021 joint university study of Australian environmental scientists found more than half employed in industry or government “are routinely constrained in communicating scientific evidence on threatened species, mining, logging and other threats to the environment”. In some cases, “scientists self-censor information for fear of damaging their careers, losing funding or being misrepresented in the media. In others, senior managers or ministers’ officers prevented researchers from speaking truthfully on scientific matters...In all logged states, time spent fighting the government has overtaken the fieldwork time of ecologists and forest researchers."
