#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.

Traditional Owners have made an emergency application to Australia’s Environment Minister, @tanya_plibersek, to immediately halt the desecration of Aboriginal cultural heritage at Lee Point in Darwin. #SaveLeePoint #LeePoint @EnviroCentreNT envirojustice.org.au/blog/me…

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

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

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.

We name the 26 Australian frogs at greatest risk of extinction by 2040 — and how to save them

We’ve identified three frog species very likely to already be extinct. Another four species on our list are still surviving, but not likely to make it to 2040 without help.

The charred and salt-worn cliffs of Weirs Cove #KangarooIsland, one year, 3 months and 3 weeks apart.⁣ ⁣ We heard three Western Whipbirds singing when we visited in 2018; swallows and scrubwrens too. ⁣ ⁣ Now there's no sound but the deep, marine-roar of the expiring waves.

How do you conserve a micro- range endemic frog where the male only moves <5m/yr? Geocrinia faces multiple #threats says @em_hoffmann of @BiolSci_UWA and drier sites limit its range. Where do we go with #climatebreakdown? #TSforumWA

@em_hoffmann at #TSforumWA on incredible efforts of Geocrinia Recovery Team to save the white-bellied frog, WAs most threatened frog species. And new research on what makes a good site for this fussy species. Are summer conditions the crux? @Science_DBCA @BiolSci_UWA
