Demand the Federal Environment Minister Saves the Black-Throated Finch from Extinction and Shuts Down the Adani Coal Mine Approval

The beautiful black-throated finch was declared extinct in New South Wales this month and sadly, one of the bird's largest remaining habitats in the Adani mine site in Queensland, according to The Guardian.

Dr April Reside, a member of the black-throated finch’s threatened species recovery team which provided advice to environment minister Greg Hunt, said its extinction in NSW showed why its habitat in north Queensland’s Galilee basin was pivotal to its survival.

The story reports: “Basically the evidence is pretty strong that they’ve lost over 80% of their entire range,” she told Guardian Australia.

“That’s why the Galilee basin area is of such interest, because it’s basically the best habitat left for the black-throated finch, and it is the largest chunk of habitat left.”

The black-throated finch must be protected. Will you join me in demanding Greg Hunt does his job as the Environment Minister and shuts down the approval process of the Adani Coal Mine?
