GIICA want to fence off most of #Barrambin / #VictoriaPark this Monday 1st of June - in less than 3 days!
This is 6 years before the games, without having released a construction plan for the public to review.
That would require kicking out the First Nations camps on this culturally and historically significant site – during National Reconciliation Week.
Our green lungs are being sold off.
See below what we can do.

On the same website, you can still sign the petition against a stadium in the middle of our biggest inner-city park:
https://www.savevictoriapark.com/petition
and donate to the legal fund:

Donating via Friends of the Earth makes your donation tax-deductible.
The same website has lots of resources to learn more about why constructing a stadium there is a terrible idea, but here's a shortlist of 10 reasons:

In 24 hours, we managed to upload 232 observations.
One week later, we've added 45 species to the list. There are now 348 taxa recorded at #Barrambin :
https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/barrambin-victoria-park
But there's lots more to explore and record, so if you're a local, please have a wander and contribute your snaps to the database! Every #iNaturalist observation that falls in that area makes it into the list automatically.
A stadium doesn't belong here.

Even if you're not local, you can contribute by identifying observations to refine the data:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?project_id=288305
Eventually, observations that reach a consensus end up in other databases, like the Atlas of Living Australia.
This is a report from the ALA for the same area. It lists 21 "threatened species".

I just saw there's police trying to remove the First Nations camps at #Barrambin right now.
