Here's today's feel-good story:
Australian officials have committed to preserving 30% of the continent's land in a natural state, joining the United States and many other countries.
The plan will drive action where it's needed most, by prioritizing 110 species and 20 places.
“The Threatened Species Action Plan strengthens our commitment to stopping the extinction of Australia’s plants and animals,” said Environment Minster Tanya Plibersek. “Based on input from researchers and experts from the community, this plan identifies 20 priority places and 110 priority species and will guide recovery actions that will benefit a broad range of threatened species and their habitats.”
