The researchers said the superb fairy-wren would likely go extinct within 30-40 years unless action was taken to stop greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change.

The superb fairy-wren is likely to be extinct within 30-40 years, researchers from the Australian National University have found.

In a new study published in the journal Nature, the research team said the population at the Australian National Botanic Gardens had been studied more closely than most of other species.

What’s next?

The team said the only way to spare the species from extinction was to stop climate change.

well, that’s then fucked then.

Even in here you get people defending the continued destruction of the biosphere by not stopping burning fossil fuels let alone the complete disregard in the wider world.

    We are so lucky in Australia. I can hear a beautiful warbling right now as I type this. And also the distant “ark-aaaaaa” of a crow.

    I hope we can help these little guys make it.

      You’re so right. That’s why we have to do all we can to save them. 🦜 🦅 🦉 🐦‍⬛ 🦆
