Using vivid examples, Michael shows how philanthropy builds a future where everyone thrives. Read more here: bit.ly/RFG_social

Educating girls transforms lives and helps communities adapt to climate challenges. When women are empowered, they lead in sustainable practices, disaster recovery, and climate resilience.
Did you know?
- Women are 14x more likely to die in disasters.
- 80% of those displaced by climate change are women and girls.

Can you believe what we uncovered at Red Range, NSW?
Eight MCGs worth of bushland like this is destroyed EVERY HOUR.
The leading cause? Agriculture, and while a majority of farmers do the right thing, a small portion of landholders clear threatened species habitat to make way for more cattle.

Most Aussies believe once an animal is listed as threatened with extinction everything possible will be done to protect it.
Thats simply not the case and the nation has scored an F in 3 key categories on the @WWF_Australia scorecard.

Black Caviar.
An extraordinary horse, forced to race, forced to breed.
Had she not been bred annually since reaching retirement, would she have been euthenised at 18 years, or could she have lived the normal life expectancy of 30 years or more. – at Melbourne, Victoria

Dr Raygun is an Aussie legend.
We dance to our own beat.
And bring marsupial energy to every contest.
She’s a national treasure.
Give her an AO.

It has taken decades of advocacy & and finally, we have a date to end live sheep export by sea enshrined in legislation.
Live sheep exports by sea will end in 2028.

The Senate has passed the Bill to end live sheep exports by sea.
This decision marks the beginning of the end for live sheep exports by sea, a practice that has caused immense suffering for millions of sheep.
Thank you to all who helped achieve this monumental victory.

Serenity to gunshots.
Thanks to @southaustralia River Revival vouchers, we enjoyed a peaceful weekend on a houseboat with friends and children until gunshots shattered the calm at 2pm today, sending ducks flying across the river.

Piles of dead kangaroos have been discovered rotting on land adjacent to one of Australia’s biggest drinking water reservoirs.
It's a site the general public normally don't get to see. But here's a stack of photos and videos I was sent.

BREAKING NEWS!
A live export ship heading to the Middle East has had to divert due to security risks in the Red Sea.
How many more disastrous voyages will we see before the Albanese government acts to end this cruel trade?

Just joined Sam Harris on his podcast to discuss ethics, animal rights, and Effective Altruism. We covered animal suffering, speciesism, and the moral complexities of our interactions with non-human animals. Also touched on the Sam Bankman-Fried case and debated existential risks and human suffering.
For those interested in the ethics of how we treat animals, or in Animal Liberation Now, my latest book in this area, this conversation offers new perspectives. Check out the full episode: samharris.org/podcasts/makin…
