The opportunity of caring for country that true partnerships bring, built on trust and walking together - great conference wrap up at #PLC24 @LandAustralian @Tas_Land

Great day/weekend out talking wetland restoration!

[Tasmanian Land Conservancy @Tas_Land]

Did you attend our Sloping Main Reserve Discovery Day in Sept?
All of the attendees had the opportunity to hear from Dr. @_cath_dickson, TLC's Science Manager, dive deep into the ecology of Burdens Marsh & ongoing restoration plans.

It's #NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay, & the anniv. of the thylacine passing into extinction. We're working to protect the #easternquoll from a similar fate. Our project is focusing on the release of captive-bred quolls across sites in #Tassie. Read more at https://t.co/o6aL12U8LP

Have you got some great or quirky camera trap images of Tassie's wildlife? We'd love to see them :)

[Tasmanian Land Conservancy @Tas_Land]

We want your wildest #wildlife photos! TLC & Wildtracker are calling for submissions to our camera trap #photocompetition
The most exceptional images will be selected for the upcoming #exhibition 'Camera Trap Chronicles'. Find out more via https://t.co/fc1mF7WlzD

Awesome new research out from @hovendenlab from their long-term ecological research @Tas_Land's Silver Plains and Five Rivers Reserves - reiterating the importance of our peatland marshes and the need for wetland restoration 🌿🐸💧

[University of Tasmania @UTAS_]

A groundbreaking study in @Nature reveals the impact tundra ecosystem warming is having on carbon emissions.

"Our research shows tundra and alpine areas can be major emitters of carbon when they lose their water storage abilities" @hovendenlab

Out surveying for Ptunarra brown butterflies at the Vale of Belvoir 🦋🦋

This year, we recorded almost 4,000 of this endangered species, which only occurs in the upland Poa grasslands of Tasmania - seems like it’s a good year to be a Ptunarra!

[Tasmanian Land Conservancy @Tas_Land]

We need your #help! @universityoftasmania PhD candidate and TLC Bird Conservation Fund scholar, Edith Shum, is researching a concept called ‘place attachment’.
Share your thoughts about the species you love on #BrunyIsland via the survey link below.

Don’t let our biodiversity rust-in-peace! 🌱💀

#MyrtleRust is an invasive species that poses a grave threat 🧟‍♂️ to >1500 Myrtaceae species in Australia. 🌳

📲 Report myrtle rust on @iNaturalist & @NatureMapr! Get #biosecurity data access via the ALA!

🚨 Some quoll-ity research for your Friday! 🚨

Devil declines caused by facial tumours are having a knock-on effect on spotted-tailed quolls, with quolls moving around & dispersing much less from areas with lower devil densities

Nice summary here -

This place is just amazing 🌿💚

‘Secluded river valleys wind through the subalpine grasslands, supporting lrg Sphagnum peatlands, & endemic conifers. Pine Tier is a remarkable landscape that can protect some of our most threatened ecosystems, forever.’ @_cath_dickson

The protection of Pine Tier is a strategic opportunity to protect foraging habitat for many native birds. #Swiftparrots forage among the eucalypts, while regenerating forest provides nesting sites for #wedgetailedeagles & #maskedowls.

This is the spectacular Pine Tier - we need your help to protect it and create the largest contiguous area of privately protected land in Tasmania!

Donate today and help connect 20,000 hectares (49,420 acres) for conservation, https://t.co/MFIGMMdhI6

Private Land Conservation is such an important part of effective landscape-scale conservation management. Great to be working with A/Prof Vanessa Adams and the team on this project.

Great seeing this project underway - sites established and data coming in!

These marsupials are in a quoll lot of trouble.

We���re trying to understand the causes of population decline for the eastern quoll in Tasmania and develop tools to safeguard this species in its last wild stronghold.
