What happens to small mammals when you take cats and foxes out of the desert? Read the results of 26 years of small mammal surveys inside and outside the Reserve, on our website: https://t.co/Pr3SQYvJM8, or the full paper here: https://t.co/gfRiBbn3UU

Australia is pretty much one giant sand pit. No surprise then that lots of critters have shovel-like adaptations to dig out a living beneath the soil surface. Take for instance the narrow-banded shovel-nosed snake (Brachyurophis fasciolatus) which can teleport into soil with ease

[Australian Land Conservation Alliance @LandAustralian]

Welcome, @AridRecovery. ALCA members are united by a vision of a future where nature thrives Australia wide, and through ongoing membership expansion we seek to more fully represent the diversity of private land conservation in Australia.

Phenomenal week demonstrating for @UofA_SET second year ecology students @AridRecovery - overwhelming consensus of the most they’ve ever learnt at uni.

Thanks again to Arid for hosting such a great camp to kick start these young ecologists careers! 🦎🐭🪶

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

Dozens of threatened Australian species are back from the brink, but many are reliant on fenced-off safe havens.

💬 "We should not rely on [safe havens] to take species off the threatened list," write @katherinemoseby (@UNSW) + John Read (@UniofAdelaide). https://t.co/Siy83ayc3c

[Arid Recovery @AridRecovery]

New podcast! @BiolSocSA interviews Arid Recovery Chief Executive @KatherineTuft on desert ecosystems & threatened species… and what it takes to get hard-won wins in conservation.

[Katherine Tuft @KatherineTuft]

Still a long road to real recovery for Australia’s threatened species. Safe havens are great, but just a stop-gap. Important to recognise in the debate about de-listing species. @AridRecovery co-founders @KatherineMoseby & John Read in @ConversationEDU
