The TSX for birds is alive: tsx.org.au
The TSX was launched at the Ecological Society of Australia conference in Brisbane by our brilliant Threatened Species Commissioner, Dr Sally Box yesterday evening! It was endorsed via a video by the Honourable Minister of the Environment and the Great Barrier Reef Leeanne Enoch who was not able to be there in person. Darren Grover, Head of Living Ecosystems at WWF highlighted our need for action now and Professor Hugh Possingham, Chief Scientist of The Nature Conservancy and TSX project leader shared his dream of seeing Alan Kohler presenting a TSX on ABC—and the trend going up! I had the opportunity to thank our partners and data custodians, and to show our TSX animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAYQO-sNQp0
