The discovery of a thought-to-be extinct bee proved one of our most popular stories this week. And for good reason.
Our Facebook page was abuzz with comments about the Eungella find, excited about the extraordinary discovery but also the community support.
I suppose now is the time to say people swarmed to celebrate the find and were bee-witched by the apparent randomness of it, but it is a credit to PhD candidate James Dorey who had traversed the eastern coast of Australia from South Australia up to Cairns to research bee evolution.
But hopefully the find can evolve the region s story too, that the wonders of what s up in the mountains will inspire more people to visit. ....

Clive Palmer coalmine near Great Barrier Reef must be blocked, conservationists say

The national Independent Expert Scientific Committee on Coal Seam Gas and Large Coal Mining Development (IESC) has provided advice three times to the Queensland government on the proposal.
In December, the latest report from IESC said it had “extreme concern that the predicted impacts are not readily mitigated, especially the discharge of mine-affected water into Broad Sound and the [Great Barrier Reef world heritage area]”.
The report added: “The IESC cannot envisage any feasible mitigation measures, including offsets, that could safeguard these irreplaceable and internationally significant ecological assets and their associated water resources.”
Key problems with the mine, the IESC said, included “significant and irreversible damage to internationally valued estuarine and near-shore ecosystems subjected to mine-affected water” as well as risks to creeks, pools, and the direct loss of 8km of waterways. ....

Proposed Clive Palmer mine moves to assessment stage – Reef concerns need urgent consideration
Great Barrier Reef campaigners are urging government officials not to greenlight Clive Palmer’s Central Queensland Coal Pty Ltd proposed mine as Queensland’s environment department announced today it was allowing the plan to move to the next stage of assessments.
A damning report from the Independent Expert Scientific Committee (IESC) on Coal Seam Gas and Large Coal Mining Development has found the mine poses significant risk to surrounding reef ecosystems with no way to offset the damage from mine-polluted water.
The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) said the new open cut coal mine, situated just 10 km from the World Heritage Reef, would be disastrous because mine affected water could flow into Queensland’s largest fish habitat at Broad Sound, north of Rockhampton. ....
