Protecting nature and sustaining people in one of the last big natural areas left on Earth: the spectacular Australian Outback.

Big, wild and healthy, #Outback Australia requires more hands on deck to stay that way, says @pewenvironment https://t.co/eRsDAFNKzj

Another stunning jewel of the Aussie #Outback - Katherine Gorge in the Northern Territory

Commitment to national parks waning with lower investment & fewer jobs. "there's been a loss of staff expertise: highly skilled rangers are being replaced with field officers who do not have the skills or institutional memory to manage pests and bushfires" https://t.co/uG6DdFmCle

#Outback regeneration "In a year of low rainfall, it was great to see the diversity and number of animals captured... we hope to start detecting the positive effects of our feral cat and fox control program... and see the bush returned to good health." https://t.co/wXL1eVszc0

From dreams to fire: how Aboriginals shaped biodiversity. "... for some species, human intervention was actually a good thing. It helped them to thrive and spread across Australia". Check out the cool story about why populations of hunted lizards flourish https://t.co/6v5e0FSpmy

Indigenous rangers team up with @Macquarie_Uni to solve tree death mystery.

"... pigs and buffalos, as hard hoofed animals, create channels which drives saltwater further inland..."

Ever seen a Finlayson's Cave Bat? These resourceful mammals roost in fairy martin nests.

Those rotten cats! Cat monitoring and eradication is such a vital aspect of caring for country.

[Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa @KJMartu]

A cat emerges from a mankarr (bilby) burrow and is caught on a ranger camera trap. Rangers actively monitor cat movements as part of an effort to reduce cat numbers on Martu country and protect threatened species like mankarr (bilby).

Feeling adventurous? Who knows what you could find in the Bungle Bungle Range! This amazing #Outback landscape is in WA's Kimberley region.

[Western Australia @WestAustralia]

350 million years in the making, the Bungle Bungle Range in #PurnululuNationalPark is utterly unique and captivating. Add this one to your must see list when visiting @austnorthwest: https://t.co/sO0uCmJEUt

Paraku Rangers pull off the impossible... again! They've now captured a 2nd photo of the highly elusive and incredibly rare night parrot. Well done - a terrific team effort!

Fantastic to see such diverse groups banding together to tackle a tough problem. Which weed/s are you working on?

[Michael Douglas @mdouglasUWA]

Great to be back in @Kakadunationalp working with Traditional Owners, Park Staff, @NjanjmaRangers and @NESPNorthern Hub researchers. We were planning weed control at sites that will improve access to floodplains for Traditional Owners and benefit floodplain biodiversity.

Check out this little cutie! It's actually a savage* carnivore.

*Only considered savage if you're a centipede, spider, insect or small lizard.

About 1 in 3 mammal species still alive today are at risk from cats & foxes. Potoroos, rock-rats, quolls and bandicoots top the list. "Introduced predators remain a significant threat to numerous mammals, many of which are clinging to survival by a thread" https://t.co/1s73QfDhhc
