Australia's ecology and biodiversity is at a critical point following the 2019-2020 bushfire that burned more than 18 million hectares of bush and forests, destroyed more than 5,900 buildings, including more than 2,800 homes, and killed millions of animals and wildlife.

The impact is ar-reaching; billions of other animals are unlikely to survive because of lost habitat and food sources. Global biodiversity is likewise affected; terrestrial biodiversity is greatest in forests, which are home to over 80 percent of terrestrial species of plants, insects, and animals. When forests burn, biodiversity also vanishes, which humankind is also dependent for survival. Something must be done, lest extreme weather occurrences will become a common concern in the future.

The bushfire was also believed to have added to the growing concern for climate change. Before the bushfire occurred, Australia's forests were thought to reabsorb all the carbon released from other bushfires across the entire country. But because global warming is causing bushfires to burn more intensely, the 2019-2020 bushfire released 400 megatonnes of carbon dioxide into the earth's atmosphere. This volume is supposed to be Australia's average annual carbon dioxide emission, but was released in only three months. The increased emissions of greenhouse gases in Australia contribute to global warming and increase the likelihood of a recurring megafires in the future, perpetuating the problem.

General medical practitioner from Sydney, Australia, Dr. Nick Catsaras leverages over three decades of experience in the fields of information technology and finance in his role as managing director of Pegasus Research. As a medical doctor, Nick Catsaras, MD, maintains an interest in medical research efforts, particularly in gastrointestinal diseases.

A group of neurogastroenterology researchers at the Translational Research Institute Australia (TRI) led by Professor Gerald Holtmann is pursuing a study that would characterize the immunopathology of functional dyspepsia (FD). The study, which was funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council, aims to develop a new therapeutic strategy that will deal with FD.

Recently, the researchers have discovered that FD is associated with the enlargement of activated eosinophils in the duodenum in 47 percent of FD patients. The group has also observed an abnormal immune activation in the peripheral blood of FD patients. These observations led the researchers to hypothesize that FD might be an immune-mediated disease, with allergic type Th2 as driver. The team will try this hypothesis by evaluating the roles of T-cell phenotype, including the levels of eosinophilic chemokines and cytokines in FD patients.

The study is expected to proceed in defining the causal roles of Th2 cells, including the factors that promote eosinophil in driving duodenal eosinophil in FD. The efforts will focus on profiling gene expressions in order to define new mechanisms. The resulting therapeutic modality will suppress overactive immune responses in FD.

In November 2019, the Australian government, through the State and Territory Environment Ministers, endorsed Australia's Strategy for Nature 2019-2030 and the new national approach to biodiversity conservation. The strategy will serve as the framework for all laws, policies, and actions that pertain to the environment, whether on the national, state and territory, and local levels.

The strategy has three goals. First, it seeks to connect Australians with nature. The strategy recognizes the role of nature in the physical and mental health of its citizens, as well as its participation in economic prosperity and national identity.

Second, the strategy seeks to care for nature so that each citizen will benefit from it. It seeks to improve conservation management of the country's landscapes, seascapes, wetlands, and waterways. Additionally, the strategy will guide the use and development of natural resources in ecologically sustainable ways.

Third, the strategy seeks to increase the knowledge of decision-makers and policymakers to make the right decisions using an evidence-based approach. Every decision related to biodiversity, taxonomy, ecological sciences and management of nature should be drawn from scientific data and information.
