If you want to send a message to WA Gov't for more outback National Parks and Protected Areas. These are especially needed in the southern and central WA rangelands where there are few NPs outbackwa.org.au/protected_areas

Just released ! A #photographic #poster of the #nativebees of the #southwest #westernaustralia #biodiversity hotspot - all species you are likely to encounter based on 100s of hours of survey work. Email kitprendergast21@gmail.com to order yours #poster #bees #ozpollinators

@gerard_mazza Done as well

Do you want to use molecular tools in wildlife conservation? @meeg_ecology we have a funded PhD or masters project using #eDNA to understand the diet and habitat of the endangered Gilbert's Potoroo with @gilbertspotoroo @Science_DBCA Please share widely!

Both outer and inner Perth suburbs are growing in populations - those at the edges of the expanding city are growing the fastest, and this is where our best remaining bushland can be found. watoday.com.au/national/weste…

Congrats to Sutomo on another paper from his PhD thesis. This one exploring floristic differences and drivers across savanna ecosystem in wetter parts of Indonesia, ie Java, Bali & Lombok. Climate, fire and invasive species important. rdcu.be/cCnS0

Congratulations to @AaronBrace and Rachyl Stover @meeg_ecology for highly commended citations in the student poster awards #ESAus21 @EdithCowanUni Awesome work guys!

The cost of restoration of our (Australia's) degraded landscapes is relatively cheap, see summary of latest paper from UQ. theconversation.com/australia-coul… via @ConversationEDU

In the last week I've started to receive inquiries from people running tree planting programs wanting my help. I am suggesting that they shut down their programs. Here I will explain why:

@Dr_Rob_Davis Yes I saw many trees blown over in remnants where we can least afford losing any more trees

Very sad to see many of our small woodland study sites heavily impacted by Cyclone Seroja. We need to start replanting trees in these remnants now if we want our children to see the woodlands we once knew.

Some ants can successfully pollinate native plants, see our summary: Tales of the unexpected – ant pollination mutualism esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

One solution for two big problems - trees. Great interview Rachel Standish abc.net.au/radionational/…

When it comes to forest landscape restoration (FLR), there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Check out some of the paths to restoring land:
