Very worrying news from the Western Australian Wheatbelt, home to iconic Salmon Gums, Wandoo, and Macrocarpa. A story repeated across landscapes from WA to Tasmania following the unrelenting local drought and heatwave conditions last summer. amp.abc.net.au/article/104366…

I got told by a senior colleague recently that she cries almost every shift due to the bullying she gets subjected to.. why are people who work in a caring profession so bloody cruel to each other??

Nice to see #GilbertsPotoroo, the #worldsrarestmarsupial getting this publicity! 2024 is the 30th anniversary of its rediscovery in 1994 & we have a great event planned for Nov 30/Dec 1 to celebrate so save the dates! Awesome work by @Science_DBCA @WAParksWildlife & all partners

WA is home to the rarest mammal in the world. The Gilbert's Potoroo was believed to be extinct for more than a century - now making a comeback, all thanks to WA researchers. @GenevieveLamond #9News

Fitzroy River is dropping down at least 1.5m. Footbridge accessible again. Road access still cut.

#feralcat with a feather-tailed #glider Incredibly sad for anyone interested in conservation of our unique endemic fauna. Help us prevent this: - Keep your cat indoors - Desex your cat - Support feral cat control programs
