Habitat loss, for many many species, looks precisely like this.

In the past 11 years, we’ve lost roughly 300 million hectares of forest. Three ecologists explain why our current conservation strategies aren’t working.

This declaration is driven primarily across the board by habitat loss. Many other factor contribute too. Senator the Hon Murray Watt (the #!!@*) where are you?

The resilience of some species will never cease to amaze me.

Once extinct in south-west NSW, these tiny marsupials are bouncing back! 💪

22 Red-tailed Phascogales have been spotted on motion-sensor cameras at our Scotia Wildlife Sanctuary on Barkindji Country in NSW - just 4 months after release into the 8,000-hectare feral predator-free area.

At only 20cm long and 68g, they’re notoriously elusive, making these early sightings a huge conservation win.

Thanks to careful planning, long-term partnerships, and a national reintroduction program, this species is taking its first steps toward a self-sustaining population in NSW for the first time in over a century.
