24.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day #happymothersday #mothersday #wildlife #t4w

17.01.2022 On World Vet Day, 27 April 2020, we say thank you to all the remarkably hard working veterinarians saving our precious wildlife. This is a beautiful reminder from Zoos Victoria of the work done for koalas throughout Australia's devastating recent bushfires c/- Chief Veterinarian Leanne Wicker

17.01.2022 The amazing humans from Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater continue to kick goals for this endangered species

17.01.2022 This happens every night in Australia - whether it is a farmer with a ‘license to harm’, a private landowner deciding to harm anyway, a legalised cull, or the biggest player in the nightly kangaroo slaughter: the commercial kangaroo meat industry. This industry has been described as the largest ongoing, land-based slaughter of wildlife on the planet. These noble animals are a vital part of this land. They are totemic and sacred to Indigenous people. They are not pests, they a...re not in plague proportions, they are simply trying to survive and find habitat in which to do so. There are some brave people trying to do something about it: Mark Pearson and Andy Meddick MP from the Animal Justice Party, individuals who are speaking up and bringing their personal experiences with this issue into the public domain; the many devoted wildlife carers who take in joeys that have been orphaned from the kills and raise them with love and care, only to face the same risks when they are returned to the wild (these are, of course, the lone joeys that are not killed on site with their mothers). There are a number of things you can do, as a consumer and a concerned member of the public, to help end the slaughter - refuse to buy kangaroo (and wallaby meat) for yourself or your pets, talk to friends and family to raise their awareness around how these products are actually sourced, boycott restaurants and supermarkets that support this industry. Sign the petition here , read the article below, and watch the movie ‘Kangaroo’ for yourself. Even the preview on the movie’s website gives you a look at the reality of this industry. Remember the bushfires? We have just come through the biggest natural disaster ever on this continent; the loss of wildlife was unprecedented and the impact on populations and ecosystems is yet to be truly understood. Our native wildlife deserve better than this ongoing, legalised slaughter. The wildlife trade also needs to be scrutinised in this country, as it has in others, on the back of Covid-19. Kangaroos are wild animals and they are 'harvested' in the most horrifying conditions. We need to bring this issue out of the darkness, now! https://kangaroothemovie.com/ https://districtbulletin.com.au/why-do-people-still-think/ http://markpearson.org.au/banwildlifetrade/

11.01.2022 "Difficult as it is now, this pandemic will subside and we will learn some profound lessons from the experience. It may provide a chance to reset priorities and direction for ourselves and society." - Dr David Suzuki https://www.cbc.ca//the-covid-19-pandemic-may-be-an-opport

11.01.2022 This is an important one, please read and share - supermarkets become flooded with a colourful array of chocolates and chocolate eggs leading up to Easter. Unfortunately the majority of these chocolates contain palm oil that can often be directly linked to the destruction of rainforests and habitat for Sumatran orangutans, in Indonesia. While it's a harrowing topic, it's one that needs to be looked at, needs to be addressed - it has such broad implications for wildlife, for t...he people of Sumatra, and ultimately for the planet. There is a positive note as each of us can do something, our consumer actions are powerful! So please, choose your Easter products carefully and raise awareness where you can around this issue.

08.01.2022 Bats, particularly flying foxes, have been largely maligned and misunderstood across Australia. As more research is undertaken, along with the work of committed individuals and wildlife groups, it is becoming evident that bats are an important part of ever more fragile Australian ecosystems. Bats are integral to the pollination of several native plant species and the study of their social structures and habits is shining a light on the complex nature of these species. This is why we have been pleased to partner with Animalia Wildlife Shelter. Additionally, flying foxes have suffered with heat events over recent summers, bushfires and continued land clearing for agriculture and housing.

04.01.2022 September 7 is the day Australia considers its relationship with its unique wildlife. Unfortunately Australia has the highest rate of vertebrate mammal extinction in the world and laws and regulations seem out of step with the needs of the 21st century and continuing pressures. We feel compelled to highlight the plight of Australia's most widely recognized and revered native animal, the koala (Phascolarctus cinereus). The koala was listed as threatened in Queensland, New Sou...th Wales and the Australian Capital Territory on May 2, 2012. Since then there has been widespread continued clearing of habitat for agriculture and housing. From September 2019 until February 2020 Australia’s east and southern regions experienced the worst wild fire (bushfire) event in recorded history, reportedly destroying millions of hectares of forest and killing in excess of one billion native animals. Koalas were particularly impacted across states and territories where they exist. It is dreadful to consider that the koala may never recover and in some areas may become locally extinct and yet the habitat destruction continues, largely unabated and with government approval. We presently encourage you to spend some time doing research on the internet around the crisis besieging our iconic species. A good place to start is google: https://www.google.com/search

04.01.2022 Safety first, wildlife lovers

03.01.2022 So heartening to see, even three years after his passing, that the irrepressible actor and comedian John Clarke’s passion for wildlife, wild places and wild birds has been honoured. And a critical area of Phillip Island’s special wetlands has been saved for perpetuity

02.01.2022 Happy birthday, Dr. Jane Goodall (the Jane Goodall Institute). Your continued work in advocating for the wildlife of our planet is an inspiration. Thank you

01.01.2022 Thursday, 22 April 2021 Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally by EARTHDAY.ORG including 1 billion people in more than 193 countries. c/- Wikipedia

01.01.2022 Wacky Wednesday

01.01.2022 Happy Rediscovery Day for the Leadbeater’s Possum. It was on this day in 1961 that young Melbourne University geology student Eric Wilkinson stumbled upon a Leadbeater’s Possum in the dark at Cambarville, beyond Marysville, around two hours north-east of Melbourne. Until then a Leadbeater’s Possum had not been sighted since 1909 and they were pronounced extinct in 1960. The Friends of Leadbeater's Possum Inc. have celebrated the rediscovery every year since their formation in 2005. Together For Wildlife is proud to support the Friends and protection of this species, which is now declared critically endangered and numbers around 1,500.
