Healthy seabird populations start with healthy habitat. 🪺

As Australia responds to H5 bird flu, more than $1 million in Australian Government funding is helping restore seabird habitat in the Coral Sea Marine Park.

The Islet Ecological Restoration Project is:

• removing invasive weeds
• revegetating native plants.

This work is already supporting stronger seabird populations, delivering long-term conservation benefits.

Yesterday’s Animals@APH event was a great success! We had a wonderful variety of native plants and animals, including some beautiful threatened species, to introduce to parliamentarians and their staff. It’s a fun event to follow Threatened Species Day that provides a fantastic opportunity for personal interactions with our amazing Aussie wildlife.

Thanks to Environment Minister Murray Watt for hosting this event and to the fabulous organisations who brought animals and displays.

Keep bird baths clean to help protect bird health.

Bird baths can attract wild birds and other animals, so it's important to keep them clean to reduce the risk of spreading H5 bird flu.

These simple steps can help prevent the spread of H5 bird flu:
• Regularly clean and disinfect bird baths and any other water containers you may use.
• Refresh water often and keep it clean.
• Wash your hands after handling these items.

If you see multiple sick or dead birds, Avoid contact, Record what you see and Report it to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.

Threatened Species Day is an opportunity to celebrate not only the many incredible species that call Australia home, but the people and communities all across the country working hard to protect them.

Thank you to everyone who dedicates their time and effort to protecting our threatened species. Together we can make a difference.

Supporting our Brushies 🦘🪨

Little River Gorge in east Gippsland is home to one of just two remnant brush-tailed rock wallaby colonies in Victoria.

The colony is under significant threat from feral predators (particularly foxes) and from inbreeding as a result of the colony’s small size and isolation.

Supported by funding under the Australian Government's Saving Native Species program, DEECA Gippsland and its partners Parks Victoria, Wildlife Unlimited and Odonata Foundation have been working hard to turn things around. This has included:

📸Monitoring of the population, including trialling new camera trap arrays to make monitoring in such difficult terrain easier
🦊Intensive fox control to reduce predation pressure, resulting in the removal of up to 30 foxes in the past year
🦘Upgrades to quarantine facilities at Mt Rothwell’s breeding facility to support future translocations into the wild.

Monitoring appears to show a gradual increase in population size over the past 10 years, likely thanks to sustained feral predator control as well as supplementation of the population with captive bred individuals from Mt Rothwell and Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve in the ACT.

While these gorge-ous wallabies are not out of the woods yet, these results are promising and show that our efforts are making a difference.

The brush-tailed rock wallaby is a priority species under the Australian Government's Threatened Species Action Plan 2022-2032.
