Our Issue 107 is out now — here's a taste of what's inside:

Chair Carmel Leahy reflects on EK's defining value of proactivity — and how over 8,000 supporters responded to the Valhalla fracking appeals, making it the most contested project in WA history.

Executive Director Martin Pritchard writes on what 30 years of protecting the Kimberley really means — and why the threats keep coming, from fracking and seabed mining to cotton on the Ord and oil drilling at Scott Reef.

Operations Director Liam Wright reports on new project management systems, exciting progress on wetland monitoring with Nyamba Buru Yawuru, and the Sandy Deserts Fire Biodiversity project.

Campaigns — The WA EPA has recommended approval for Black Mountain Energy to frack 20 wells in the Martuwarra Fitzroy River catchment. We need your voice. Also in focus: a Dutch company's proposal to dredge 70 million cubic metres of sand from Cambridge Gulf — threatening flatback turtle nesting sites in a Ramsar-listed wetland.

Backyard Biodiversity Blitz — A citizen science project inviting Broome residents to host motion-sensor cameras in their backyards to document local wildlife.

Community — Derby Landcare Group shares how Derby became the only community in Australia to bring cane toads under control — and why Broome needs to act now before the invasion front arrives. Plus a volunteer spotlight on the wonderful Dianne Bennett.
