@david_papps55 See it all too often 😢

@EvanQuartermain I know it doesn't compare to massive habitat loss and degradation, but I often see this in my town (we've got a colony about 15kms away). Essential Energy should underground their powerlines!! Safer in terms of bushfire ignition too.

Very distressing to see nocturnal grey-headed flying-foxes out in the day, likely highly stressed and looking for a suitable site to roost. This would be having a huge impact on their energy stores which will in turn affect their ability to forage at night au.news.yahoo.com/eerie-daytime-…

Temperatures have soared so high that flying foxes are literally dropping from the trees. humaneworld.org/en/blog/saving…

Starvation now threatens one of Australia’s few disease-free koala populations due to a lack of habitat, as wildlife rescue volunteers are overwhelmed with calls for help. satpa.pe/4YR0qBt

Calls are growing for the government department to release a $850,000 report on the health, abundance, and distribution of koalas in one of Australia's most populous states. It could help form a roadmap to prevent the species' demise. au.yahoo.com/news/calls-mou…

The Cup? Nup. #NupToTheCup

Appin Road is a koala death trap Gage narrowly survived the car strike that killed his mother two years ago and his release back into the wild was hailed as a conservation success story Now he has tragically suffered the same fate... another koala killed abc.net.au/news/2025-10-1…

We’re launching a Wombat Gate Project! If you’re a landholder in the Southern Highlands or surrounds and experiencing wombat-related fence damage, apply here: bit.ly/3HQBmAZ Running from late 2025 to early 2026. In collaboration with @westernsydneyu @womsat and WPSA.

Short-term human amenity has no place dictating wildlife management efforts. Protect the bats! 🦇 "In FNQ, one special winged mammal helps keep rainforests alive, travelling vast distances each night, pollinating flowers and spreading seeds far and wide." theconversation.com/yes-spectacled…

🌿Collective conservation 🌏 Our Wildlife Land Trust program shows the power of collective action with real people taking responsibility for conservation on their own land. The Wildlife Land Trust has now grown to a network of 970 sanctuaries spanning 91,873 hectares.

The Wildlife Lands Newsletter Issue 30 is out now! 🦋 Inside you can explore a threatened island ecological community that supports endemic subspecies and learn about the cryptic and nomadic plains-wanderer. Read the issue here bit.ly/45KlWHP

Nearly two million hectares (more than three Kosciuszko National Parks) of koala habitat bulldozed in Queensland and NSW since 2011, with about 3/4 of the lost forest thought to have been cleared for agriculture (creation of cattle pasture and crop fields) theguardian.com/australia-news…

Hundreds of koalas have been shot from helicopters in an alarming cull happening right now in Victoria. Conservationists, including our Head of Programs, Evan Quartermain are raising serious concerns. Learn more about this issue here: yhoo.it/3SdwzLe

There are more than 90 species of bats in Australia, performing immense ecological services across the vast range of habitats they occupy But negative stereotypes and a lack of awareness mean they're not getting the attention or research funding they need abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2…

@Warwick_Long Have they tried any Predator Smart Farming practices? Much better ways to keep sheep safe from dingoes than killing (which might actually increase predation rates)

A farmer has had his application to control wild dog/dingoes eating sheep on his property rejected. Another is selling sheep due to the decision A fence or a field day? More govt dog support questions. and another go at a VFF leadership spill 👇 abc.net.au/listen/program…
