Queensland signs off Adani's plan for endangered black-throated finch

The Queensland government has signed off on Adani’s black-throated finch management plan, one of two state approvals the company needs to begin preparatory construction for its Adani coal mine.

The Queensland government has approved Adani’s
management plan for the black-throated finch.

Queensland’s coordinator general published the decision on Friday morning.

In a statement, Queensland’s department of environment and science said Adani had submitted an updated version of the finch plan three days ago, on 28 May, which included new commitments after they were requested by the department.

It follows weeks of pressure on the state Labor government, and swings to the Liberal National party in Queensland at the federal election.Read the story from The Guardian by Lisa Cox - “Queensland signs off Adani's plan for endangered black-throated finch.”
