AUSTRALIA — The southern greater glider has been made endangered in New South Wales due to climate change, bushfires and native logging severely reducing its population and habitat, the latest in a rapidly growing list following back-to-back natural disasters.  WWF Australia conservation scientist Stuart Blanch said while the science was clear on what needed to be done to conserve threatened species, the political will made the issue more complex. He said while other countries, including the US and China, have shown strong laws and long-term investment can help endangered species recover, in Australia the list continues to grow.  This trend would continue until stronger action was taken to stop deforestation and native logging – two of the biggest drivers in habitat destruction. He added there also needed to be greater incentives for farmers to protect forests, providing an economic alternative to logging.
