SWIFFT

Okay folks, it's almost time to lauch the updated SWIFFT website and We. Are. Excited. Here's a sneak peak of some classic SWIFFT pages with a spiffy new vibe.

Keep on the lookout for Bogong Moths! If you're not sure about what is or isnt a Bogong Moth, and wondering why it's so important to track them, head here: bit.ly/3a6xAAg Thanks to Yohanna from Hotham Heights for uploading this image!

We recently found this (deceased) Bogong Moth at Melbourne Zoo - a long way from where it should be right now. Make sure you switch your lights off for Bogong Moths and help them find their way to Mountain Pygmy-possums: zoo.org.au/possums

Mountain Pygmy-Possums are waking up from their winter hibernation and they are HUNGRY for Bogong Moths. But the Bogong Moths are declining and we need to know where they are? Can you help? Check out the new @ZoosVictoria Moth Tracker! swifft.net.au/mothtracker/

A new rose named ‘Tangles’ from @TreloarRoses will help Whale ID in Victoria. #project%20support" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">swifft.net.au/cb_pages/team_…

If you missed the recent video conference on ' Communications for conservation' you can find detailed notes here: swifft.net.au/cb_pages/video…

Check out the latest updates from the Regent Honeyeater Captive Release Program: Some high quality images have confirmed successful breeding. Keep your eyes peeled and report any sightings via: #Latest%20update" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">swifft.net.au/cb_pages/team_…

The updated website is LIVE people! Go there. Explore. Enjoy. swifft.net.au

Have you heard of the @SWIFFT01 tool? If you're a conservationist in Victoria, it's worth checking out. It's a useful knowledge-sharing network connecting conservationists, landholders, farmers, councils, and Government. Find out more here: bit.ly/2yiNH9p

We were lucky enough to get a visit from @TSCommissioner Dr Sally Box and her advisor Amy Mulcahy. We gave them a sneak peak at the updated website and explained how SWIFFT works. We didn't get a photo of the meeting, so here's a Button Wrinklewort for Amy.

Hello! Do you know about the new Wattle ID app? Here's the link: environment.gov.au/science/abrs/p…

We've had two wonderful guest speakers over the past month: @SimonDHeyes talking VVP grasslands (or should we say savanna?) & @wombatnatter talking everything Pimelea spinescens! Thank you both! #FedUni

We're working on making it possible to help people access the SWIFFT video conferences from the comfort of their home/office. So stay tuned for updates. Thanks to everyone who attended today!

SWIFFT video conference on #drones happening now! Final speaker today is Dr Grant Hamilton, talking about using drones to monitor Koalas (it's ticky because they hide in trees!)

SWIFFT video conference is on now! Responsible use of #drones. @jarrodchodgson giving us a great review of the response of different fauna species to drone proximity. Sneaky use of an egg microphone to measure penguin responses.

SWIFFT video conference today! We're learning some really cool stuff about using #drones for biodiversity monitoring and research from @adelaidedrones
