The Conservation Regulator is seeking information from the public about the use of an illegal steel jawed trap that injured a koala in Warrnambool.

The koala was caught in the trap and found in a tree by a member of the public who did the right thing and called a local wildlife shelter. The koala was rescued by a representative of the shelter and the @cfavic. The koala received treatment and was released following veterinary assessments.

Anyone with information about this incident or other wildlife crime is urged to contact us visit https://t.co/Pbd34K6Yn5 or call 1800 333 000.

Thinking of gifting a native pet this Christmas?
It’s a big responsibility!
Before you make the commitment, ask yourself:
* What type of food, care and housing do they need?
* How long do they live?
* What sort of Wildlife licence do I need?

It's World Toilet Day! If you don’t dispose of human waste properly in the bush, it can pollute water, spread disease, and impact native wildlife.
💩 If available, use a toilet.
💩 If not, head at least 100m away and bury waste 20cm deep.
💩 Don't bury or burn toilet paper.

To help keep wildlife safe the Conservation Regulator and five councils (Brimbank, Manningham, Merri-bek, Yarra and Boroondara) are piloting a free net swap program for household fruit growers, partnering with UPPAREL to recycle collected netting. For more https://t.co/0luvZsEdfx

This Goshawk was entangled in illegal household fruit tree netting. It was rescued and released but not all wildlife is so lucky. Does your finger fit through the mesh in your fruit netting?
👉If it doesn’t, then you’re good to go
👉If it does, then it's most likely illegal

Victorian trail bike riders now have a new ride-ready resource! It covers everything from choosing the right bike to licence and registration and safety gear. If you want to ride safe, then treat it as homework. 🤓
So before you twist the throttle go to: https://t.co/NU5FB7tgBo

Whales are amazing to see, but if you're flying a drone or aircraft near the coast, you need to stay at least 500m from these gentle giants. It's the law.
Fines can reach thousands of dollars, and serious breaches could land you in even deeper water.
