Australia's rare and endangered parrots are vulnerable to climate changes. If nothing is done about that, any plans to conserve them would be a waste of money. This according to Environment Victoria, an organization that called the Australian Government's funding to save an endangered bird species as "pouring money down the drain."

Federal Environment Minister Ian Campbell announced the government has set aside A$3.2 million to preserve the orange bellied parrot's habitats at South Gippsland and King Island in Tasmania. But Environment Victoria claims the money would be better spent on renewable energy projects that could help slow down global warming.
Ironically,Senator Campbell rejected a wind farm proposal at Gippsland because it posed a small threat to the birds. Hmm.
