This #ThreatenedSpeciesDay it’s fantastic to be involved in the $1m #SavingOurSpecies project to save the Bell’s Turtle. Thanks to our funder #NSWEnvironmentalTrust and all our partners, especially the farmers for their awesome efforts!
Another load of critically endangered Coastal Fontainea to add to our translocation plantings #endangeredspecies #savingourspecies

A successful night in a paddock being perfectly managed for the Plains-wanderer! A second young bird for the night, this one being a female.

First round of Allocasuarina littoralis planted on the property today! We're determined to see the glossy-black cockatoos return 🌿 Seedlings kindly provided by @nswenviromedia #SavingourSpecies #glossiesinthemist
Rock wallaby colonies are important oases in our landscape. Our collective efforts to help #rockwallaby populations through #drought and #bushfire is directly helping many other species, such as #quolls that utilise the same structurally complex refugia #savingourspecies
100 Southern Corroboree #Frogs were released into enclosures that were near engulfed by the Black Summer.
This wouldnt be possible without David Hunter from #savingourspecies , MichaelMcFadden from #TarongaZoo , #VicZoos , #PragueZoo and the Walgulu mob.

5 years ago today one of our #rockwallaby camera traps snapped this image of 2 animals fighting above a cliff in Oxley Wild Rivers NP. We're still monitoring this colony but it looks very different post- #bushfire #savingourspecies
One very photogenic female Plains-wanderer found out on the plains tonight with Damian Michael. Such a cool bird!

My entry for the 2019 Threatened Species Bake Off, a black-necked stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus). Listed as endangered in NSW due to loss of wetland habitat and coming to grief with powerlines. #TSBakeoff #SavingOurSpecies #birdsofinstagram @TSCommissioner
Spent a great few days in far south-western NSW last week, installing nest boxes for a study on western pygmy possums. These legendary students, members of CSU’s Enviro Club, trekked 100 nest boxes into the mallee over just 3 days. Amazing! #threatenedspecies #savingourspecies
And while you're there, come and see us at the Saving our Species stand to chat about Science and Research in the SoS program #SavingourSpecies

#iamabotanist and today I’m feeling appreciated. Thrilled to bits by this beautiful dedication from 2 inspiring #WomenInSTEM and the #botanicalart by the late Lori Cobb. Only 1 small population of Thomasia julietiae is known — let the plant hunting begin! #SavingOurSpecies
It's the first time since the drought that Carissa spinarum has flowered so abundantly. The floral aroma is amazing! The Conkerberry was hit hard by the hot and dry conditions. Hoping for a great fruit collection in a return trip! #SavingOurSpecies #Conservation #PlantBank
Calotis cuneata (Mountain Burr-daisy) had emerged in abundant clusters in amongst the old growth Brigalow in slight clay depressions. A prickly customer but another seed collection made! #SavingOurSpecies #Conservation #ozplants #PlantBank
