The most comprehensive genetic assessment of Australia’s koala populations has revealed population clusters are hindering the genetic diversity needed for the species to survive.
Eighty critically endangered spotted tree frogs have been released back into the wild in New South Wales after only about 10 survived the 2019–20 Black Summer bushfires.
Researchers propose a frozen koala sperm ‘biobank’ is the best long-term solution – and most cost-effective way – to save Australia’s iconic koala.
The list of iconic Australian reptile species includes spiny-tailed geckos, water dragons, and shingleback and pygmy blue-tongue lizards.
Record numbers of critically endangered orange-bellied parrots have been spotted in Tasmania’s wilderness.
Photographers Melanie Faith Dove and Sandra Sanders have spent years documenting the effects of urban sprawl in Melbourne on kangaroo populations.
As Australia’s population rapidly rises, so too does our need for housing. The result is accelerated urban sprawl. But as suburban developments move in, our native wildlife must move out. The problem is, there’s nowhere left to go.
