#saveleepoint We need to protect old growth savanna woodland in Greater Darwin to make sure the very thing most of us love about living in Darwin remains for us, and future generations. @tanya_plibersek you have the power to stop this. Please do so, and listen to the community!

A huge turnout of people today devastated and outraged that this threatened species habitat at Lee Point is to be bulldozed - in exchange for offsets that are not yet even dreamed up. Old growth habitat cannot be offset.

The Arnhem Land gorges skink was recently named one of Australia’s most threatened vertebrates. Working with Traditional Owners @TerritoryNRM conducted targeted surveys across Kakadu National Park. What did they discover? Find out from @em_hoffmann at #ESAus23! 📷️: Chris Jolly

There are lots of things to consider when deciding to get involved in a new project: will it deliver real-world impact, is there potential for high-impact papers and academic kudos, and most importantly... will I get a project t-shirt?! The Arnhem Rock Skink project is a winner!

Great talk by @em_hoffmann helping us understand when, where and why habitat is suitable for some *very* range-restricted threatened frogs. Amazing research! #ESAus21

My third PhD chapter on critically endangered white-bellied frog breeding phenology is out! @AustralEcology @minimbus Length of the calling season varied two-fold and was associated with wetter soils. Drying southwest = shorter breeding seasons? 🐸💦onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Under a new code, rural landholders in NSW will be allowed to clear up to 25 metres of land outside their property boundary. This will be devastating for the wildlife that live or migrate there.

Keep a look out, West Aussies, frog deaths are here too. ☹☹ These unfortunate chaps found in Forrestfield in @CityofKalamunda yesterday (Banjo & Motorbike Frogs). Thanks to @jodirowley for her advice. Please report sick or dead frogs to @FrogIDAus (see QT) #PerthHillsFrogs
FrogID@FrogIDAus28 Jul 2021
Help us understand how widespread the outbreak of dead #frogs across eastern #Australia is by sending any reports and photos of sick or dead frogs to [email protected] theconversation.com/dead-shr…

Dead, shrivelled frogs are unexpectedly turning up across eastern Australia. We need your help to...

It’s typically rare to see a dead frog. Yet, we’ve received a flurry of emails from people coming across them in this truly unusual, and tragic, mass death event.
