Our team of ecologists, land managers and volunteers are very busy running surveys on Mt Gibson. We recently collected several cameras from this remote understudied peak. And we're very excited to see what pops up, so stay tuned!

We simply must deal with feral horses in the Australian Alpine region! The Threatened Species Scientific Committee said that horses were destroying the alpine and could lead to the extinction of 12 species; 3 frogs, 4 fish, 4 reptiles and 1 mammal. canberratimes.com.au/story/8188700/…

Mt Gibson camera traps are being processed as we speak. We placed them throughout the reserve, focusing on areas that would be hot spots for a range of cryptic critters.

A small recap of the last few weeks by Lisa van Dijk

This July, a team of ecologists will be dropped into the Lost World and then traverse 6-7km through rugged terrain up to Mt Amy. To our knowledge, this peak has never been surveyed before. It sits at 850m and is covered in Palm Forest and Wet Eucalyptus Forest.

Alex Pike from NSW #SaveOurSpecies continues to document Booroolong Frog (#Litoria booroolongensis). These several hundred frogs were released into a remote stream in the New England Tablelands. This species is almost entirely extinct in the northern reaches of its distribution

The spiny knob-tailed gecko (Nephrurus asper) is a fierce but tiny predator found in rocky outcrops and woodlands of Queensland, Australia. These geckos are found in a range of colours and patterns from deep reds to banded individuals!

Very few Australian #mammals are active during daylight hours. One of the few that you'll see our foraging during the day, is the #MuskyRatKangaroo. These can be seen in our #AthertonTableland reserves, and we're hoping that live in Mt Gibson, north of Mt Windsor #NationalPark.

Another threatened species on Mt Gibson! A real thrill to find this Black-footed Tree-#rat on the northern part of our Mt Gibson reserve. So far we have found these incredible animals in two seperate areas ! #FNQ #cameratrap

On the road again to pick up more cameras. What will pop up on this on one of our newest reserve ?! 📷 Lisa Van Dijk

Congratulations @nswnationalparks ! Went to go for a morning walk in Booti Booti NP this morning and there was a new walking track. Fantastic to get some wonderful ocean views and to walk though palm gullies that I never knew existed. #bootibootinationalpark #nswnationalparks

The cameras are rolling in and the photos are starting to unveil what Mt Gibson has to offer (apart from amazing views). This threatened Northern Quoll is having a good old sniff We have multiple reserves which protect quolls and we're very happy to add Mt Gibson to the list.

Our big #BoulderfieldsBioblitz on Kings Plains on Cape York is go!!! 100 camera traps 80 boulderfields 25 people 15 bat detectors 1 helicopter And terabytes and terabytes of data. Based on our early results, lots of bats. Stay tuned for updates! #threatenedspecies #bats

The Normanby River Boulderfields are full of beautiful spring fed streams. This was todays stream as we put out bat recorders and camera traps. Some poor souls will have to suffer this terrible place for a few days when we pull them out. #boulderfieldsbioblitz

The cameras are in. The #bat detectors are collected. The #chopper has landed and the camp is closed. The #BoulderfieldBioblitz is completed! Caves were explored and hills climbed. Our findings from will be shared soon with some exciting news! 📷 Ari 'Turwin' Ananda

A large, wise, old Carpet Python was found one afternoon during the #boulderfieldbioblitz This lovely beast was escorted off the road and is likely looking for an agile wallaby to snack on.

The #boulderfieldbioblitz was built on teamwork 💪 This lovely Cooktown Orchid (Dendrobium bigibbum) was found flowering in the complex vine thicket between two boulderfields.

Our team exploring the remote rainforest of Mt Gibson should be returning shortly. We're excited to see what they've found!

We have back from our Mt Gibson reserve. This week has exceeded our expectations, with 3 confirmed threatened species. Mt Gibson is very likely the northern limit of the: Spotted-tail #Quoll Yellow-bellied Glider Northern #GreaterGlider 🎬 Jannico Kelk 🎸 Jane Dudley

Two weeks ago we were fighting a massive fire on our Kings Plains reserve on Cape York. Today the ground floor of our homestead is about to go under in biblical flood left by Cyclone Jasper. Our climate has always had extremes, but they seem to be getting worse. Climate change
