25.01.2022 Wildlife Queensland's Quoll Seekers Network has today launched a new guide that provides information and advice to landholders, natural resource managers and the public about the endangered spotted-tailed quoll. Saving the Spotted-Tailed Quoll: A Landholder’s Guide aims to provide practical ideas that may contribute to saving this elusive species. It seems fitting that this guide is being launched on World Habitat Day; the loss of spotted-tailed quoll habitat is a critical f...actor in the ongoing decline of this species, says Wildlife Queensland Projects Manager Matt Cecil. Taking time today to highlight and reflect on just how important conserving, improving and connecting wildlife habitat is may help to inspire people to do what they can for native Australian wildlife.

25.01.2022 The state and federal governments have given final approval to private equity group Pembroke Resources to clear 5,500 hectares of koala and glider habitat. The impact to native wildlife will be considerable and we fail to see how mitigation through an offset will reduce any net habitat loss in a time of ever-increasing extinction pressure. The government needs to commit to protection (and increasing) of habitat for endangered, vulnerable and near-threatened native species during a well-known and accepted mammalian extinction crisis.

06.01.2022 Happy World Animal Day 2020! Today we’re speaking up for the nationally endangered spotted-tailed quoll. This shy, white-spotted quoll is the largest marsupial carnivore on mainland Australia. It is also the only quoll species found in south-eastern Queensland. ... Habitat loss and modification and habitat fragmentation have contributed to a significant decline in spotted-tailed quoll numbers. Fewer than 10,000 are estimated to now remain in the wild. WHERE ARE ALL THE QUOLLS? That’s exactly what Wildlife Queensland’s Quoll Seekers Network (QSN) hopes to discover! QSN is extending its search for the elusive spotted-tailed quoll in south-eastern Queensland in 2021 - and they need your help.

01.01.2022 It doesn't get much more Australian than this! A double kooki combo beautifully captured by @photographersdownunder Kookaburras are the world’s largest kingfisher species and can live up to 20 years. Australia has two species of kookaburra, the Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novoguineae) and the Blue-winged Kookaburra (Dacelo leachii). The Laughing Kookaburra (pictured) is well-known for its ‘laughing’ call which is used to establish territory among family groups. ... This iconic native Aussie bird lives in eucalypt forests, open woodlands, or on the edges of plains in Eastern Australia. They build their nests in tree hollows or termite mounds. Is the kookaburra your favourite native Aussie animal? In support and celebration of World Wildlife Week this week, let's flood the internet with pictures of our magnificent Australian wildlife. Share your pics and tell us what your favourite native Aussie animal is. IG: @photographersdownunder . . . #worldanimalday #worldwildlifeweek #wildlife #kookaburra
