20.01.2022 It has been just a few months since we returned the first Tasmanian devils back to the mainland in over 3000 years! We have now fitted the devils with speciali...sed tail transmitters to monitor their movement in the sanctuary, their interactions with other devils and hopefully soon, their breeding patterns. These trackers will be able to give us a unique insight into their new totally wild life. . . . Global Wildlife Conservation WildArk

18.01.2022 Gizmo’s colours are popping today! UV is extremely important for our reptiles, which not only makes Gizmo’s gorgeous colours pop but it’s also vital for reptiles to help maintain their vitamin D3 and calcium levels as they grow.

16.01.2022 Australia’s environment and biodiversity protection laws are up for a 10 year review and an interim report has found that that our current laws are failing to p...rotect our environment and wildlife. The Government has ignored their own report and is now fast-tracking a bill which will devolve environmental approval powers to states and territories. We can’t let our unique and precious wildlife be erased. This Bill heads to the Senate in early October. Please get involved and stand up for Australia’s wildlife and environment now.

16.01.2022 Rhino poaching has reached unprecedented levels in South Africa. But there is hope! Through collaboration and the perseverance of conservationists, we are helpi...ng to save a species. One of the approaches is supporting the rehabilitation and ultimate release of rhinos back into the wild. The road is long and the challenge monumental, but the conservationists are ready to fight this epidemic. These are some of the men and women who are tackling this crisis and trying to change the course of the rhino’s destiny. Many thanks to Rhino Africa for producing this video!

06.01.2022 A sad week for Victoria. The platypus has been officially added to our threatened species list as ‘vulnerable’. Human population growth, urban sprawl, droughts ...and now climate change have impacted the waterways where they live. The announcement came with some initial funding to start restoring habitat, but we need sustained action to protect the species in the long-term. We’re calling for amendments to The Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act so habitat declarations and conservation orders are made mandatory. You can also help by taking part in the ‘Great Victorian Platypus Search’. Download the app and collect water samples so scientists know exactly how many are left and where they live. http://platypusspot.org/ Read more in The Age today >> https://www.theage.com.au//victorians-urged-to-help-scient (Photo by Doug Gimesy Photography, who also put in the threatened species application...thank you!)
