Guardian Australia is highlighting the plight of our endangered native species during an election campaign that is ignoring broken environment laws and rapidly declining ecosystems
A rare “bum-breathing” turtle found in a single river system in Queensland has suffered one of its worst breeding seasons on record due to flooding last December. It has prompted volunteers to question how many more “bad years” the species can survive.
A freshwater species that breathes by absorbing oxygen through gill-like structures in its tail, the Mary River turtle is endemic to south-east Queensland. Its population has fallen by more than 80% since the 1960s and its conservation status was upgraded from endangered to critically endangered last year.

In December 2024, when unseasonable flooding threatened the breeding season of a critically endangered turtle, Marilyn Connell and other members of a Queensland community conservation group sprang into action. The Mary river turtle is one of 2,000 Australian species listed as under threat in what scientists are calling an extinction crisis

I have been reading about the native american farming system called the 3 sisters and have been amazed by the beutiful simplicity of how they all compliment each other both in time of growth, nutritional balancing and overall effectiveness. This got me thinking about if there was a possible equivalent using european native species in the UK, i know that Broad (Fava) Beans or Peas could serve as the 2nd sister as it is a nitrogen fixing legume, what other plant species could fill the roles of corn and squashes? Or might there be a different approach maybe with 1 or 2 more plants?

I am experimenting with ponds and am determined to stay plastic-free if at all possible. I am curious about trying a hybrid sealing method of packing the clay that’s already in the soil as firmly as I can, and then also doing a 5-6 inch layer of grass clippings, leaves, other organic material, and then a couple of inches of soil on top of that. I would bring in some ducks and/or pigs if I had ’em, but I don’t at the moment (nor do I have secure fencing to borrow any!) I also don’t have any way to transport manure, even if I could source some, so I am just trying to do this with what is on hand. I’d love to hear of any experiences or tips if anyone has played around with similar projects, or encountered any in books or videos out there.
