Swift parrots breed in the nesting hollows in big old trees in Tasmania, then fly north in winter. In search of nectar, they cross Bass Strait in small groups. When there’s lots of eucalyptus flowers, they congregate in huge colourful flocks – but in dry years they have to travel far and wide.
Habitat destruction means the fastest parrot in the world is on a rapid path to extinction.

Hello
Please do create strong national protection laws for the areas and creatures that we love. This is very important to me and millions of Australians. Discuss this with your party leader and contribute to protective national environment legislation. I am really worried about all the native flora and fauna that are endangered. Cheers Fionnuala

Please…..you have the power to do this.

A healthy and strong natural environment is essential for the health (both physical and mental) health of citizens. Biodiversity is essential for a health and strong natural environment which means that humans need to take care of all creatures of all shapes and sizes. Once a species is extinct we can never get it back.
Australia needs stronger environment laws because if we lose our creatures we will lose part of our identity.

Just sending this to help keep this matter nearer to the forefront of your mind—to claim a place amongst all the other issues you have to deal with!
Honour Leigh: I read long ago that we have no right to destroy what we cannot create. We cannot create these exquisite parrots. We have no right to destroy their habitat. STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF LIFE!
Dear Member of Parliament,
Please do the right thing. We need you to create laws that protect the environment, and not support practices that destroy it.
Respectfully,
Heidi Spicer
