In the Florida Keys, a mysterious situation has emerged with critically endangered sawfish experiencing distress and death, drawing attention from wildlife officers, researchers, and conservationists. Despite efforts to understand the cause, no definitive explanation has been found, with state officials receiving as many as 7 calls in a single day about struggling or dead sawfish. Meanwhile, in New South Wales, the continued logging of koala habitats is being described as a 'profound tragedy' by conservationists, with operations being labeled as 'extinction logging'. The situation highlights growing environmental concerns in both the United States and Australia.
