23.01.2022 Milani and Alice This is Milani, a gorgeous baby greater glider (Petauroides volans) who is being held by her loving keeper Alice, from Currumbin Wildlife Sanct...uary. Milani is the daughter of mum Grevillea (who was found as baby when trees were cut down) and dad Ewok (who was rescued at about 3 months of age when he was found on the ground close to his mums’ dead body). Grevillea and Ewok were introduced to each other in May 2018, and wonderfully Milani was born April 2019. Greater Gliders are Australia’s largest gliding mammal, and can glide up to 100 metres and change direction by up to 90 degrees mid-flight. But when we chop down their trees, especially ones close by, they can’t get around. Sadly, the greater glider population is in decline due to impacts like habitat destruction (via deliberate tree clearing and also as a result of bushfires), plus habitat fragmentation. Because of this, they are currently listed nationally as vulnerable to extinction and potentially heading towards becoming endangered. What can Australians do? 1) Support actions to stop inappropriate logging and increasing our national parks (like the team at Victorian National Parks Association and the creation of the Great Forest National Park. 2) Support those environmental organisations that try to make a difference like Environment Victoria, the Australian Conservation Foundation The Wilderness Society and Bush Heritage Australia - just to name just a few. #greaterglider #glider #marsupial #habitatdestruction #logging #wildlifephotography #conservationphotography International League of Conservation Photographers ILCP Nature Picture Library

18.01.2022 Our volunteers bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Science for Wildlife team. For many, volunteering with our organisation is an extension of thei...r chosen career path. Their specialised skill sets and deep understanding of the field have been invaluable to S4W research and field work projects. S4W volunteer Fanny Stricher is no exception, with field experience in ecology and environmental conservation in both France and Australia. As a continuation of our volunteer article series and a gesture of thanks, this month we are recognising Fanny’s contributions to our organisation. Read our latest article here: https://scienceforwildlife.org/from-deer-and-snow-leopards/

16.01.2022 Yesterday, Brigidine College Randwick hosted the Project Koala 2020 Expo day. 175 students showcased their conservation solutions to help the ongoing survival o...f the Koala. Throughout Term 4, students from these schools connected with Taronga's experts in the field, ranging from educators, vets, zookeepers and renowned scientists. They even met koala detection dog Bear! The education team along, with the invited guests, were so impressed by the student’s innovative designs, from Koala emergency kits to detection drones the students used their creativity and love of koalas to come up with some great prototypes See more

13.01.2022 Great to see that small schools enviro day is going stronger than ever despite covid challenges.The K2W Glideways program were fortunate to have the Eaton Gorge theatre company perform the squirrel glider play 7 times to the enthusiastic school groups. Not only is the enviro day great for the students it is also great for all of the people, agencies, organisations working on threatened species programs in the area to come together. Well done to Casey Central Tablelands Local Land Services and @TrunkeyP.S for keeping this tradition going and thanks to ongoing support from Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife #SavingOurSpecies #nswenvtrust

13.01.2022 Steven Taylor was nominated for AH&MRC's NAIDOC Week Portrait Series because of his commitment to delivering Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) treatment to Aborigina...l people in NSW through his work at the Weigelli Centre. His treatment approach is individualised and uses a cultural lens to ensure his clients are getting the best and most effective level of care. We asked Steve to share what this year's theme 'Always Was, Always Will Be' means to him: This year's theme ‘Always Was, Always Will Be’ says it all. The Country always was and always will be Aboriginal land. Our connection to Country, water and sky have never been lost. Thanks to our Elders, the fire keeps burning within us all. - Steven Taylor For more NAIDOC Week portraits and stories, visit the AH&MRC website >> https://bit.ly/3eDMr5u Photography by Marley Morgan. #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe #NAIDOCWeek2020

12.01.2022 Great to see the spectacular Buttercup Doubletail orchids starting to appear this season in K2W with thanks to the people that really look out for them like Mark, Anna and Freedom

12.01.2022 Today, some of the Science for Wildlife team headed out to Kanangra Boyd National Park to do a welfare check on one of our koalas, Puck. We got him down, checked him out and we are happy to report he is strong and healthy! Go Puck!

05.01.2022 Grand Designs Charles Sturt University's Professor David Watson and honours student Mick Callan have used 3D printing technology to redesign the humble bird ...box, making it suitable for a variety of Australian wildlife. The new adaptable design - pictured below with a content resident - is built to mimic the microclimate of a real tree hollow. Suitable tree hollows can take up to 100 years to form naturally and this innovation could prove crucial in restoring habitat for wildlife after disasters such as bushfire.

03.01.2022 Sadly the first time some people encounter a Squirrel Glider is when they find them entangled on a fence with barb. If you are lucky to find an animal still ali...ve you have a chance to help it. Cover the animal carefully to reduce it's stress (a jumper, shirt, towel). Cut the barb either side of the animal, contact WIRES on 1300 094 737 to organise the special vet care required to remove the animal from the barb. Replace the cut fence with a section of plain wire as usually where you find one animal there will be others. Let us know when you find a Squirrel Glider, we love to hear any news of where they are. https://www.wirraminna.org.au/petaurus/squirrel-glider-lamp/ https://www.wirraminna.org.au//09/SquirrelGliderFactSheet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boTH3mDQv8E

03.01.2022 A quick scat survey update: Late last month, we wrapped up our second round of visual scat surveys, that have been running since September 2020 to track survivi...ng koalas and other wildlife after the 2019/20 bushfires. Our sniffer dog team will be taking over at the next survey sites. On the last day of surveys, the team and volunteers were out in badly burnt areas and while they didn’t find any scat, they did find it covered in Eucalyptus regrowth look at it! After going through all this undergrowth, the team then headed a bit further down the fire trail and found pre and post bushfire scat which means the koalas survived or they have since recolonised either way, it is great news! Also - wwant to take this opportunity to thank our fantastic volunteers who helped on the scat surveys we could not have done all of this work without you!
