24.01.2022 Were you able to guess what the blue sciencey video was from yesterday? If you like looking at maps, you'd liken it to mountain contours, and you're close! It's that, except it's underwater. The video was our bathymetry survey to explore the seafloor of Glenelg, South Australia. The seafloor was surveyed using a multi-beam echo sounder to reveal the position of our newly built reefs. We used 1400 tonnes of limestone to build 14 reefs about 1 km from the shore. This week we're seeding the reefs with 2 million baby native Australian Flat oysters. Learn more about the project > https://nature.ly/GlenelgReef

23.01.2022 We're proud to have supported the Indigenous Desert Alliance (IDA) Conference this week. The Conference has come to a close for 2020 after so many inspiring and informative days. What an amazing way to spend NAIDOC Week for so many rangers across the desert connecting! The conference featured Hon Fred Chaney AO who delivered a powerful address and call to action! And Ngurrara Women's Ranger Team from the Yanunijarra Aboriginal Corporation starred in co-presenting with the In...digenous Desert Alliance on the IDA Ranger Development Program. They talked passionately about how their rangers are taking the lead on planning and delivering their own priorities! They also talked about their recent biodiversity survey work and how they are collecting and using data for their ranger program as part of a brilliant interactive presentation from Hannah Cliff from the 10 Deserts Project. #naidocweek #naidoc2020 #IDA2020 #keepingthedesertconnected

21.01.2022 Fresh and saltwater wetlands sustain humanity and nature. They support our social and economic development in many ways: STORE & CLEAN WATER: Wetlands hold and provide most of our fresh water. They naturally filter pollutants, leaving water we can safely drink. PROVIDE IMPORTANT HABITAT: 40% of the world’s species live and breed in wetlands. Annually, about 200 new fish species discovered in freshwater wetlands. KEEP US SAFE: Wetlands provide protection from floods an...d storms with each acre of wetland absorbing up to 1.5 million gallons of floodwater. STORE CARBON: Wetlands help regulate the climate: peatlands store twice as much carbon as forests, with saltmarshes, mangroves and seagrass beds also holding vast amounts of carbon - called Blue Carbon.

19.01.2022 Right now, species are going extinct at an alarming rate never seen before. Wildlife like the endangered Northern Quoll are at extreme risk. They face threats from invasive species, out-of-control bushfires and other dangers. We must act now before it’s too late. Your support could help protect their homes and manage threats for the Northern Quoll and other vulnerable native wildlife. DONATE TODAY > > http://nature.ly/northernquoll

19.01.2022 Even Reef Cam needs a Spring clean! Spots of algae has been growing on the camera cover. Thanks to Sea All Dolphin Swims for volunteering to give it a scrub. Watch the squeaky clean algae-free Reef Cam here > https://www.natureaustralia.org.au/reefcam

18.01.2022 Native plants are at risk of extinction too.

18.01.2022 Nari Nari Tribal Council is hosting the Narrandera Clontarf students this week, at a Triple C Youth On Country camp, funded by the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Community program. Happy #NAIDOC Week

18.01.2022 It's so great to see a threatened plant species, the Mossgeil Daisy, coming to life at Gayini. Managed by the traditional custodians of the Nari Nari Tribal Council, this landscape and the many plant and animals species that rely on it for survival is in good hands. Learn more about Gayini here > https://www.natureaustralia.org.au/gayini

17.01.2022 Decor-re-re-re... The ever-fabulous Decorator Crab loves to decorate themselves with whatever is in season sponges, seaweed, snails, sometimes even oyster shells. Here's one we spotted at one of our oyster reefs in Port Phillip Bay. But...which is the crab? Simon Reeves / TNC

17.01.2022 You know that feeling when you get an awesome photo? Geoffrey Ellis who took this magnificent photo of an Eagle Ray and Cobia definitely knows it. "I took my drone for an early morning fly when I spotted a dark shape in the water below. I quickly realised it was a ray and then was surprised at the cobia following it around! I hovered over them, from a safe distance, for about 10 minutes- taking videos and photos. I only realised I got this shot when I got home! I was absolutely stoked."

16.01.2022 A happy new year to you all! May this year bring much love, peace, health and happiness. #happynewyear #happynewyear2021

16.01.2022 Congratulations to the 2020 Australian Museum Eureka Prizes winners... including us! Our Oceans team won in not one, but two categories of Australia’s leading science awards last night. Dubbed the ‘Oscars’ of Australian science, TNC along with partners JCU: James Cook University, Australia, The University of Adelaide and University of Tasmania, supported by the Marine Biodiversity Hub, were excited to have been awarded the Eureka Prize for Applied Environmental Research for project ‘Rebuilding Australia’s Lost Shellfish Reefs’. The second award was for Excellence in interdisciplinary research for our involvement in research of coral reefs bright spots.

15.01.2022 Thank you @ourbiospherenoosa for a fantastic time at the Noosa Festival of Water this weekend, during which children learned about Noosa’s oysters and the planned restoration of oyster ecosystems in the Noosa River.

15.01.2022 As the New Year unfolds, the team at The Nature Conservancy Australia wishes you and your loved ones a joyous New Year. Let's celebrate the beauty and wonder of our Earth, and work together to conserve it for future generations to come. #goodbye2020 #happynewyear #newyearseve

15.01.2022 Cassowaries Extinct??? We can't let that happen! They're an endangered species and at risk of extinction if we don't do more to protect their habitat. Watch this short video featuring Leonard Andy, Djiru Traditional Owner, talking about the importance of the Cassowary. The good news is there are many organisations working together to ensure the protection and survival of our threatened species in Northern Queensland. Including the Northern Queensland Threatened Species Symposium 16-17 February where The Nature Conservancy Australia is a proud sponsor.

13.01.2022 Ever get the feeling you're being followed?

10.01.2022 Many Australian landforms like the banded ironstone ranges of WA are billions of years old. The plants and animals that bring them to life, however, are much younger - having undergone tremendous change over time. Here's a brief history of the impacts of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians on nature. : Lachlan Gardiner https://nature.ly/3kViY9E

06.01.2022 We're all familiar with a Zebra's stripes. The pattern is so well known, that the other species are named after them. So today, for International Zebra Day, we're celebrating Zebras as well as species named after them!

05.01.2022 Time for a game of Guess that imagery: Science edition Comment below with what you think it is. We want to hear ALL of your guesses. You also get 1,000 bonus points if you guess the location **Hint: it's 1km away from a capital city**. The answer will be revealed tomorrowStay tuned!

04.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW? The odds of being killed by a shark in Australia are one in 8 million. It’s the same likelihood of being killed by a kangaroo even though kangaroos don’t evoke the same fear in us, the danger is there, but it’s miniscule.

01.01.2022 It’s extraordinary to realise that we are witnessing the great unravelling; the beginning of the end of things. I honestly never thought I’d live to see the start of what sometimes feels like the apocalypse. The Earth is really struggling to maintain its equilibrium. Something inside me broke That level of loss is too much to bear. As scientists, we are often quick to reach for more facts rather than grapple with the complexity of our emotions. But over the past few y...ears, I’ve come to realise that no amount of extra information is going to help people actually feel the grief of what we are facing.
