23.01.2022 Person to person, now person to tiger (possibly lion)...

23.01.2022 Well done Kings Park

23.01.2022 Great to hear there are plans in place to halt the impact of mice

23.01.2022 Wonder where Yoshi will come to shore in Australia?

22.01.2022 Post Covid-19 this Quoll was just looking for a refreshment

22.01.2022 Not for everyday use but will assist during drought and recovery from fires

19.01.2022 Great to see some active management programs being implemented for the feral pig problem

19.01.2022 Such a simple theory and it works...

19.01.2022 What a great news story - now lets not back off on the cat control program

19.01.2022 More great biosecurity work being done with conservation detection dogs

19.01.2022 It is a bold move to try and alter the ecology of an endangered species to keep it alive, but at what point do we try new things... or do we continue with current management and cross our fingers... extinction is forever

19.01.2022 Another article explaining why offsets don't work...

18.01.2022 Good news story for the day

17.01.2022 First analysis of the impact the recent fires have had on native fauna. Interestingly some previously common species may now get listed as threatened.

17.01.2022 Public opposition to culling programs is often at odds with scientists and conservationists and being 'cute and fluffy' often confuses public perception of what is the best conservation strategy. The recent fires highlight how there is a considerable amount of public interest in volunteering time or donating money to assist the recovery but is it being utilised effectively.

16.01.2022 Interesting changes in spatial and temporal use of a landscape due to rewilding of apex predators

15.01.2022 This is a bold initiative by the NSW government to halt the rate of faunal extinctions. Lets see a similar commitment in Western Australia

15.01.2022 Will climate change impact on native species? In the case of the Yellow-footed Antechinus which have a reproductive strategy called semelparity (i.e. only has a single reproductive period before they die) it could do and it will be especially vulnerable to big disturbances, such as a heatwaves.

15.01.2022 Great news. Maybe time to increase the feral and pest management program effort to ensure the species increases in numbers

14.01.2022 No need for me to comment further. Comments on the original post are interesting if you have time

14.01.2022 Follow the link to read about a great outcome when a landowner and the Wheatbelt Natural Resource Management Inc combined to tackle feral fauna http://wheatbeltnrm.org.au//healthy-e/feral-animal-control

13.01.2022 Our recently published paper tested and confirmed that a conservation detection dog is more accurate, more time-effective, and thus cost-effective, than human searches for locating Bilby scats and burrows. In our study, a human search located six of the 90 scats available compared to our detection dog that located 89 of the 90 scats. We strongly recommend that conservation detection dogs are incorporated into the WA State governments search protocol for bilbies, as they are more accurate and faster than human searchers, and provide development proponents with greater confidence in searches undertaken as part of an environmental impact assessment.

12.01.2022 Great to see fauna linkages now being part of infrastructure designs, but the choice of fauna on the promotional material is questionable... cat, rabbit and fox plus a couple of flying creatures. Although the feral fauna are likely to be main users of the linkage did Main Roads Western Australia really need to highlight it to the general public?

11.01.2022 Sometimes simple is the best solution. Now we just need to test it in Australia

11.01.2022 Well done City of Fremantle. It is great to see councils taking these initiatives to protect the local environments

11.01.2022 South-western Snake-necked Turtle has changed it name back to Chelodina oblonga. So hard to keep up now days... Turtle Oblonga Rescue and Rehabilitation Network (TORRN)

10.01.2022 Well done to Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development - DPIRDfor getting the detection dogs to WA so quickly. This program would have taken significantly longer to control (if at all) without the canine assistance

10.01.2022 Cats strike again...

08.01.2022 This would be a challenging mine rehabilitation program

08.01.2022 Have we found a solution to the feral cat problem in Australia?

08.01.2022 Too many quotes to list... but the title seems to sum it up nicely

07.01.2022 This is interesting reading...

07.01.2022 At uni I was taught EIA was an assessment process, then it became approval process, now there appears to be no process... what a disgrace

06.01.2022 Innovation like this is significantly pest management across Australia

05.01.2022 Terrestrial Ecosystems has two job advertisements posted at various locations for a: Senior Vertebrate Zoologist/Ecologist; and Vertebrate Zoologist/Ecologist If you are interested, then more information about these jobs can be found at: https://terrestrialecosystems.com/job/

03.01.2022 Some exciting research into a use for bee stings

02.01.2022 The invasive Redclaw Crayfish is rapidly spreading through the Pilbara with a reasonably high likelihood of them spreading to the Gascoyne (and maybe further south). Please keep a look out for them and report any sightings http://www.fish.wa.gov.au//A/Pages/Biosecurity-Alerts.aspx

01.01.2022 Do you sit back and monitor a sick patient or do you treat them and see what works? A lot of species have been studied to extinction.

01.01.2022 Another tool to monitor endangered species

01.01.2022 Efforts to save Australian wildlife from the impacts of catastrophic bushfires will fail unless the control of foxes, feral cats, horses and deer are a major part of wildlife disaster recovery plans. The Invasive Species Council is calling on federal and state governments to urgently roll out a three-point wildlife recovery program which includes: 1. Feral cat and fox control: Fast-track feral cat trapping and fox baiting at threatened mammal sites.... 2. Hard-hooved pest animal control: Accelerate trapping, ground and aerial shooting of feral deer, horses and pigs. 3. Weed control: Target urban areas and disturbed sites susceptible to weed incursions. If we fail, we will inherit a landscape full of feral animals and weeds and a hostile environment for Australias native plants and animals," warns Invasive Species Council CEO Andrew Cox.
