Why do salmon eaters don’t care about Australian threatened species?

“Australia has the highest rate of mammalian extinctions in the world … The only way to protect the hundreds of threatened Australian forest species is to end native forest logging....The Maugean skate is very much at the forefront of the zero extinction target."

Huh. So THIS is why he turned on all that water in California.

From the link:

“DOGE agents, including Tyler Hassen, a former oil company CEO, told senior Reclamation officials they had an order from the president to turn on water pumps at the Jones Pumping Plant, three people with knowledge of the requests told CNN. The plant transfers water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta into a canal system, delivering water to farmers and other water users in the Central Valley.”
