In an effort to make the declining biodiversity within Australia a hot election issue, a new website, Threatened Australians, was launched last week. It allows you to search your postcode to see which species are under threat in your electorate and then gives you a bunch of ways you can help – including contacting your local Member of Parliament. And they couldn’t have made it easier to do!As you click through, you’re provided with the contact info of your MP, tips on best practices for contacting them, plus a prewritten email that outlines the specific steps your representative needs to take to help create stronger protections for species in your area. Handy!
