"I've approved more than 80 renewable energy projects, enough to power every single home in Australia.
We've added 15 gigawatts of renewable energy to the grid, that's 3 times more than Snowy hydro, it's more than the nuclear plants will ever deliver, if they are ever built, - we've done that already, in just 3 years.
We've already done that.
We're on track to get to 43% emissions reduction,
We're on track to get to 82% renewable energy .
We are engaged in the biggest transformation of the Australian Economy in anybody's living memory
And instead you get this negativity from the sidelines. "

In parts of West Africa, communities have designated biodiversity hotspots sacred and measure their value by the peace of mind they provide,
West African countries such as Liberia, Senegal and Guinea-Bissau, communities have designated biodiversity hotspots, including forests and lagoons, as sacred. This system has served as a conservation tool respected by these communities for generations. The community's existence is intricately linked to the well-being and survival of the biodiversity and natural resources surrounding it.
The Western African method is to reinforce communal stewardship of the land, rather than ownership. The system starkly contrasts with some current, non-Indigenous North American methods of prohibiting humans from living in certain protected areas. Placing a dollar value on conserving these areas risks destroying the very belief system and way of thinking that have ensured their survival in the first place. Their value of biodiversity cannot be translated into monetary terms.

I’ve lived so close to the Great Valley & the Delta all my life and I so rarely actually venture to explore the nature in this area. We took a quick trip to the Blue Heron Trail located in the Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge so we could explore some of the local plants. And while the heat of summer may not have been the most beautiful time of year to visit, we still loved seeing and learning about the many different native plants and animals that live in this special area. There was so much to see when you change your eye level and look above and below.
The entrance of the narrows has a small set of rapids guarding it from anything that may be looking to browse the remnant vegetation. Not much can gain access to it’s corridors and crevices letting much of life thrive without to much disturbance.
The cliff coves are perfect microhabitats that are full of tallus beds where the majority of the tree species near the terminal sides of the cliffs are Thuja occidentalis and Taxus canadensis. Species more well known in Canada that are remnants from a time when Ohio was a bit colder and didn’t have issues with grazing pressure and lack of apex predators. Some of those outlet coves have not seen foot traffic at all due to how hard they are to get to which is another reason why the more cut out and pristine side of the canyon, full of these coves and deep crevices, is protected from public usage.
