Australian governments are failing to conserve biodiversity, meaning their extraordinary values are being lost and global conservation targets will likely fail. The next federal government must do better.

Thrilled to see our paper out in @nature.com! Huge thanks to @cegrueber.bsky.social @katefarquharson.bsky.social & the core team for a mammoth effort over 6yrs! Privileged to work with 57 scientists who spent many hours screening papers & more. Missing the late Mike Bruford-who helped inspire it all

The Tasmanian tree frog (Litoria burrowsae), a now rare frog that breeds in isolated pool deep in the heath. So awesome to find! #WildOz

@annacresswell.bsky.social is convinced I use the 100’s of tea strainers I buy to capture pygmy possums. This photo suggests it might just be possible!

I've recently been trialling some thermal binoculars to help with creature tracking. Pretty impressed so far, picking up lots of things that are often tough to get eye shine out of, like this chuditch (western quoll) #WildOz
