@D0CT0R_Dave @RichardMcLellan Super proud, what an achievement 🤩🥃

Aboriginal people have spent centuries building in the Baaka. Now there's plans to demolish these structures - NITV apple.news/A9vHsQOmRTfiBh…

Also great to hear the passion of my friend, Badimia Elder Ashley Bell — a sandalwood custodian working to protect and restore sandalwood on Badimia Country. #Catalyst @ABCscience #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge #RightWayScience #TwoWayScience 2/2

Well, Australian sandalwood didn’t win #AustraliasFavouriteTree on #Catalyst tonight. But I was so honoured that it was chosen, and to talk with @jones_ann @ABCscience about the ecological and cultural importance of this ancient tree. #RightWayScience #TwoWayScience 1/2

👀 Did you spot #CharlesSturtUni research ecologist @RichardMcLellan on #Catalyst @ABCscience last night explaining the cultural and ecological importance of Australian sandalwood? You can watch it here: go.csu.edu.au/3AIdMQr 📸by: Jessica Stingemore

Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) featured as a sad case study in the #StateOfTheEnvironmentReport — just one of thousands of plant species under threat in Australia by cumulative impacts. HT @D0CT0R_Dave @kingsleydixon1 @Gulbali_Inst @CharlesSturtUni

Banksia flowers spikes like on this Banksia prionotes (Acorn Banksia) are mesmerising from the top, with their flowers symmetrically opening from bottom to the top. #illustration #art #sciart #scicomm #wildoz

In all my desert travels I have just witness a spectacular and amazing site just off the Tanami track. Diamond doves in their thousands coming into the last water soak in the desert areas. Look at the bushes behind! @NightParrotWA 🦜#Desert #amazing #travel #birding #Doves 🐦👀

The Cowslip Orchid is one of the most common orchids in WA and one of the brightest. This is Caladenia flava subspecies. maculata, distinguished from the 3 other subspecies by the number of teeth on the labellum and their lemon colour. #sciart #scicomm #wildoz

Great paper (and thread from @riva_ecology): The disproportionately high value of small patches for biodiversity conservation — by Federico Riva & Lenore Fahrig. Echoes the words of Professor Stephen Hopper from the Southwest Australia Biodiversity Hotspot.

These amazing red flowering gums (Corymbia ficifolia) grow naturally near Albany in south Western Australia but are often planted as street trees around the world - they are so spectacular! They also take my vote for 2022’s #EucalyptOfTheYear @EucalyptAus #friendsofficifolia

I would be a monster not to share this little video - what a handsome devil. Taken just near my driveway at #CharlesDarwinReserve #BadimiaCountry @BushHeritageAus

I love Tawny Frogmouths, seriously, they always seem like they are not impressed with a joke that everyone else thinks is funny (or that they just don’t want to be at ‘the party’). With their soft plumage & huge eyes, they are stunning camouflage experts #sciart #scicomm #wildoz

I drew this from a photo I took of a gorgeous dancing Euc during a very quick stretch break on a WA wheatbelt road trip. I didn’t spend enough time identifying it, which drives me mad, I am maybe thinking E. torquata?!? 🙈 #sciart #scicomm #wildoz

We are proud to announce the magnificent Dryandra Woodland is Western Australia’s newest national park. 24 mammal, 98 bird and 41 reptile species are all known to call Dryandra home, including WA’s animal emblem, the numbat.

Something a little different… I don’t know much about moths but my best guess is that this little one is a Heliotrope Moth, Utetheisa pulchelloides, as it has 5 orange marks along margin. #illustration #art #sciart #scicomm #wildoz
