| August 31, 2010 | Whales Feature in Kimberley Ads | Pew Environment Group spokesman John Carey said large protected areas had to be set aside if the premier was to keep his promise. "None of the Kimberley coastal waters are in protection - and less than 12 per cent of the region's land area is managed for conservation," he said. |

| July 28, 2010 | Green groups 'not pushing' in Lake Eyre heritage listing | By Chrissy Arthur 4730 Conservation groups have pledged they will not be seeking World Heritage protection for the Lake Eyre Basin in Queensland unless local communities want it. The State Government is expected to list some Channel Country rivers under its controversial Wild Rivers legislation. The Western Rivers Alliance represents groups including the Wilderness Society and spokesman Rupert Quinlan says green groups are not interested in pushing for World Heritage protection in the region. |
| July 15, 2010 | Outback ideal for 'pollution bank' | The vast, empty tracts of the Australian Outback could provide a massive boost in the fight against climate change, a study has found. Researchers said forests, grasslands and woodlands in a 6 million sq km arc from New South Wales' central west, across the continent's northern rim and down to the West Australian wheatbelt held huge potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. |
| July 15, 2010 | Culling farting feral animals could curb carbon, Pew says | CULLING the feral animals that burp and fart their way around Australia's outback could eliminate billions of tonnes of carbon emissions, an environmental group says. A study commissioned by the Nature Conservancy and the Pew Environment Group has found that 9.7 billion tonnes of carbon is stored in the nation's central forests, grass and woodlands. |
| July 14, 2010 | Outback key to cutting emissions | AUSTRALIA'S outback has been identified as a vast "pollution bank" that could be used to store 1.3 billion tonnes of carbon by 2050. A study commissioned by The Nature Conservancy and the Pew Environment Group has found that 9.7 billion tonnes of carbon is stored in the forests, grasslands and woodlands of Australia's outback. But if those environments were improved, more carbon could be stored - the equivalent of 7.5 million cars off the road every year for the next 40 years. |
| July 14, 2010 | Australia's Outback an emissions 'bank' | CANBERRA, Australia, July 14 (UPI) -- Australia's Outback soaks up 9.7 billion tons of carbon emissions and can serve as a significant carbon "bank," a new study indicates. The area could absorb up to an additional 1.3 billion tons of carbon by 2050 through better management, states the study, "Outback Carbon -- An Assessment of Carbon Storage, Sequestration and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Remote Australia," commissioned by The Nature Conservancy and the Pew Environment Group. |
| July 14, 2010 | Out back, opportunities beckon to reduce effect of carbon | Australia's outback is a massive carbon bank ready for deposits and its fees would be cheaper than other methods of reducing carbon emissions, says a report to be released today. Research carried out for the Pew Environment Group and The Nature Conservancy investigated five carbon-cutting methods for the outback, which covers three-quarters of Australia. These included reduced land clearance, control of feral animal populations and better fire management. |
