🐨Double your donation. Save a koala.
This week only UK donations to @awconservancy will be matched to protect threatened species at Waulinbakh Sanctuary, NSW. AWC CEO Tim Allard explains how UK can play a vital role in protecting Australia’s wildlife.

“The parrot sighting provides hope for seeing the species return in years to come.”
@awconservancy ecologists believe the scarlet-chested parrot’s presence at Scotia Wildlife Sanctuary may have been due to a fire management program that has helped maintain habitat suitability.

The bridled nailtail #wallaby was once considered extinct, but in 1972 a population was discovered in Queensland and hope was renewed for the survival of this special species.
We are partnering with @awconservancy to give these wallabies a second chance: ausgeo.co/nailtailwallaby

The northern hairy-nosed #wombat is the world’s largest burrowing #marsupial, but also one of #Australia’s rarest #mammals.

To assert dominance, Mulga snakes (Pseudechis australis) will push each other’s heads into the ground in an aggression that can last for hours! 🐍
The loser must leave the area, while the victor claims the exclusive mating rights to local females.

Highlight of a week of pitfall surveys at @awconservancy's Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary: meeting my first Noolbenger (AKA Honey Possum; Tarsipes rostratus).
We were worried for them after the recent drought in SW WA, so it was a great relief to know they persist on the sanctuary. – at Western Australia, Australia

I recently spent two weeks on @awconservancy's Faure Island conducting a pitfall trapping survey to monitor the island's reptiles. We had huge success, catching a large proportion of the species known on the island.
This will be a thread of some of the critters we caught 🦎🧵

Gouldian #finches survive in huge numbers in cages worldwide, but the wild population in #Australia’s north is struggling.
Thankfully, these little #birds are being given a second chance at life in the #wild thanks to our partnership with @awconservancy: ausgeo.co/gouldianfinchfundr…

The greater stick-nest rat (Leporillus conditor) is munching through African boxthorns and nesting in the plant’s thickets.
While this might not seem unusual, it is actually evidence of a native #animal thriving off an invasive species: ausgeo.co/stickrat

Wildflower season has well and truly arrived at Mt Gibson 😊. Incredible to see the landscape full of colour and life again after last year's drought. – at Western Australia, Australia

Ecologists have relocated a group of brushtail possums more than 1300 kilometres from their home to Central Australia in a bid to re-establish a population in the region.

The #chuditch has been almost completely wiped out. We've partnered with @AWConservancy to help – find out more: ausgeo.co/helpchuditch
At AWC's Mt Gibson, WA property the species has flourished, with #drones used to keep track of the chuditch via radio collars.

Unless you live near #Perth, you’ll unlikely have heard of this charismatic marsupial known as the #chuditch, as its range has been reduced by more than 90 per cent.
Our partnership with @awconservancy is seeing the reintroduction of chuditch populations: ausgeo.co/chuditch
