“When you see Gouldians returning, you can confidently assume things are going well in terms of grassland management.” Gouldians have had a tough journey, with their status falling from common to endangered in the last century. Now, the species is recovering, thanks to improved policy and targeted land management strategies. Learn how we're helping this colourful gem 👉 https://lnkd.in/gZNyU7Du

What’s rarer than a Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat? A juvenile Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat 😍 AWC ecologists were extremely fortunate to capture rare footage of this juvenile critically endangered wombat waddling around Richard Underwood Nature Refuge (RUNR) in southwest Queensland. It’s the first juvenile to be spotted at the refuge in years - a positive sign that the wombats are breeding again. With an estimated total of around 400 individuals remaining, the Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat is one of the rarest mammals on the planet and one most Australians are unlikely to see in the wild in their lifetime. 📹 AWC 📍AWC works at RUNR in partnership with The Wombat Foundation + QLD Environment to protect one of the last known populations of Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat. #AWC #AustralianWildlifeConservancy #NorthernHairyNosedWombat #RareSpecies #ConservationOptimism

Without wattle, what'll wildlife eat? Happy National Wattle Day from AWC! In addition to being Australia's floral emblem, these incredible plants feed many of Australia's threatened and iconic species, including the Gang-gang cockatoo (Endangered), Red-tailed black cockatoo (Critically endangered), Leadbeater's possum (Critically endangered), and Wattle goat moth (Endangered). From food to shelter, wattles offer a lifeline to so many native species. Let's protect these golden blooms and the biodiversity they support! 📸 W Lawler/AWC #AWC #AustralianFlora #NationalWattleDay #Gardening

Meet Queensland's Hidden Dragon... Boyd's Forest Dragon 🐉 In Queensland’s dense rainforests, there lives a true master of disguise: Boyd's Forest Dragon. Though perched at eye level, this tree-dwelling species is extremely hard to spot, thanks to its brilliant camouflage and stealthy behavior. A true ninja, it moves subtly, keeping the tree trunk between itself and any potential threat, or waiting patiently for the perfect moment to strike unsuspecting insects. Unlike other lizards that bask in the sun, this rainforest specialist allows its body temperature to flow harmoniously with the air around it (thermoconforming rather than thermoregulating). This means it can remain active even during rain, a common occurrence in its tropical home. 📸 Lophosaurus boydii. 📍 Brooklyn Wildlife Sanctuary, where AWC protects over one hundred reptile species.

Peek-a-Shark-Bay-Mouse 🐭! Camera-shy mammals are coming out of their shells, or hollows, to explore biodegradable ReHabitat Pods by ReHabitat. The pyramid-shaped units were deployed to monitor small and skittish species that evade motion sensor cameras and avoid baited lures at Faure Island Wildlife Sanctuary in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area and Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary in Western Australia’s Wheatbelt. Over 1,500 images were recorded of notoriously shy native animals including the cryptic Shark Bay Mouse and the termite-eating Numbat.
