While private & industry investment in conservation is welcome, I strongly disagree with the notion that governments can’t front up the majority of $ needed.
Environmental harm caused by capitalism & markets will not be solved by…capitalism & markets.

✨Cockatoos have learnt the art of opening bins - in an escalating 'arms race' between them and humans!
Drawing the roly poly cockatoos was definitely a highlight. :D

Hi all. Chatting about Kosciuszko with Sarah Mac just after 10am on ABC Sydney. Also the half-hour convo I recorded with David Marr will run tonight on Radio National’s Late Night Live. In promo mode a bit this week, but we are sharing important stories here so I hope that’s ok

Here’s a question sent in from one of our viewers during Ask An Expert – are there any unique or interesting behaviours specific to the #Australian white #ibis?
#Ecologist @Wingtags answers this question, and many more, in the live stream: ausgeo.co/auswhiteibis

So @AlboMP & @tanya_plibersek are seemingly entertaining literally torching our future rather than sitting down & negotiating with the Greens & Independents & backing science-based recommendations from Prof. Graeme Samuel’s EPBC review?
How pathetic! abc.net.au/news/2024-09-12/n…

Excited to share our paper on bat mating systems! 🦇
We categorise mating systems based on male reproductive skew, and propose a new mating system: lek-like mating systems

Here's a mind-blowing open data portal that I think should be far better known than it is: @GeoscienceAus's Historical Aerial Photography archive, containing 1.2 million aerial photos from the 1920s on! 🛩 🗺 🤯
Yellow dots = scanned downloadable photos!

The environmental crisis caused by #salmonfarming in Macquarie Harbour demonstrates the urgent need for the @AlboMP government to significantly strengthen Australia's nature laws. Extinction is a choice. #auspol #politas

My study from last year showed how a prescribed burn conducted exactly to prescription killed 77% of a critically endangered species in the block. #AustralEcology tell me it's a #TopCitedArticle; we need change now.
