20.01.2022 Many small- and medium-sized mammals are in rapid decline in northern Australia with many now restricted to offshore islands. We undertook the most comprehensiv...e assessment of the causes of these declines in the Top End to date. We found that the role of feral herbivores (buffaloes, horses, and cattle) in mammal declines has been underestimated. The research also points to solutions to help stem the loss. Frequent fire and over grazing remove critical shelter and food for native mammals, and attract cats and dingoes. Improved fire regimes and culling of large feral herbivores will help recover declining mammals in northern Australia. The research was undertaken by the Northern Territory Government and Charles Darwin University with support from the Australian Government's National Environmental Science Program through the Threatened Species Recovery Hub and the Northern Australia Environmental Resources Hub. The research has been published in: Biological Conservation - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2020.108638 Diversity and Distributions - https://doi.org/10.1111/ddi.13065

18.01.2022 Cats kept contained 24 hours per day are safe for wildlife; and almost one third of cat owners do this. But 2.7 million pet cats roam and hunt in Australia. Th...ey are concentrated around our towns where they have a devastating impact on native wildlife. Our new research has combined the insights from 66 different studies to quantify the impact of pet cats on Australian wildlife. We've summarised the findings in this video. The peer reviewed study was published in Wildlife Research https://doi.org/10.1071/WR19174 Threatened Species Commissioner Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment Ecological Society of Australia

11.01.2022 What a fantastic conservation story from the Tjamu Tjamu Aboriginal Corporation - Kiwirrkurra. Taking cats out of the picture is a game changer for native Australian wildlife.

06.01.2022 Post-fire koala surveys with the mighty detection dog Jet. Sporting one of (!?) my favourite ‘bush watches’ the G-shock G5600 - cos it’s tough - takes a lickin and keeps on tickin!!
