14.01.2022 Protect wildlife and create harmony at home by creating a 'catio'! Cat lovers in the South West have turned their backyards into a cat playground by installing cat patios or 'catios'. The enclosures are keeping the cats entertained- and critically endangered possums safe.
13.01.2022 When you've been in quarantine for two weeks and finally get the all clear to rejoin the outside world. Oooor, you know it's FRIDAY! Check out this bouncy lit...tle woylie who was released back into the wild after a recent survey. The Australian Wildlife Conservancy says numbers of woylies (brush-tailed bettongs) are increasing in the large feral predator-free area at the Mount Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary, on the northern edge of WA's Wheatbelt region. The native marsupials are spreading across the area following several reintroductions since 2015 and ecologists have some sound advice for interns helping them release the animals. "Woylies have a habit of launching out like little rockets... aim them at a clear spot and keep your face out of the way! Australian Wildlife Conservancy intern Emily Drummond releases a Woylie post-survey. Video: Carly Moir / AWC.
09.01.2022 Kambarang (October to November) Colours: blue, green, pink, orange and red Climate: Longer dry periods, the flowering season. Known as: Wildflower season (sea...son of birth). The rain has started to ease and Boodja (Country) is warming, as seen from the clouds opening up and the Ngark (Sun) beginning to bring to life all the djet (flowers) of the land. We see an abundance of colours and flowers exploding all around us. The yellows of many of the acacias continue to abound, along with some of the banksias and many other smaller delicate flowering plants including the kangaroo paw and orchids. One of the most striking displays of flowers to be seen during this season will be the mooja (Christmas Tree or Nuytsia). The bright orange and yellow flowers serve to signal the heat is on its way. For the animals, October is also the most likely time of the year that you'll encounter a snake as the reptiles start to awaken from their hibernation and look to make the most of the warmth to assist them in getting enough energy to look for food. As the country begins to change Mamung (Whales) can also been seen in the ocean returning from the breeding grounds off the north coast of WA where they have given birth and let the young ones play in the warm waters and stop in at Wadandi Boodja on their way back to Antarctica It is also a time that many young families of birds will be singing out for their parents to feed them. Koolbardies (magpies) can be heard singing in the early mornings and late evenings to their kulungas (Children), the Maaman Koolbardi (Father Magpies) will be out protecting their nests and babies so this is a time to be wary of swooping. During this time the Wadandi people would collect tubers and bulbs such as kara (bush carrots), borna (bush chilli) and djubak (potatoes) which were either eaten raw or roasted in the ashes. As the bilya (rivers) are full from the previous wet season of Makuru and Djilba, the Wadandi people would wade through the water to collect marron, gilgie (freshwater crayfish), gnoonern (duck), kooljuk (swan) and boyee (turtle) as sources of meat. The wannang (peppermint or agonis flexuosa) flowers indicate that the tailor fish are schooling in waatu (ocean) and being caught in the bays. The balga (grasstree) will also start to flower telling the Wadandi people that the season has changed, the warmer water creating the perfect opportunity for catching caabern (blue groper).

03.01.2022 A special thanks to Gondwana Link for including WAFA in their ‘Linking Landscapes’ display in the Wild Life Gallery of the newly refurbished WA Museum. The pur...pose of the display is to show visitors some of the amazing work being done to restore and protect the most ecologically important parts of Australia's South West. Not only do WAFA's efforts feature in the 'Linking Landscapes' exhibit, but also in the 'Transforming Locations' exhibition - this is something that we are very proud of because it means that forest protection and protest has now become an official part of WA's history. Now that environmental action has been placed in the mainstream, it's time for native forest logging to be a thing of the past. It's clear most people in WA want to put an end to this environmentally destructive and economically unsustainable industry. Come on Mark McGowan, it's time to make a change!
