🦉 Could owl vomit help us fight extinction? Our scientists think so. In 2018, owl pellets confirmed the vulnerable Dusky Hopping Mouse was still surviving at Pilungah Reserve. Now we're testing whether the same DNA detective work, from soil to water to air, can reveal what's living across our reserves today, and what once did.

Thanks to your generous support, we made strong progress across all areas of our 2030 Strategy over the past year, including expanding our reserve network and strengthening partnerships with Traditional Custodians and agriculturalists.

It’s a win worth celebrating this #ThreatenedSpeciesDay, when habitat protection remains one of our strongest defences against species extinctions.

Every animal leaves traces behind – even in water 💧

At Edgbaston Reserve, we’re using environmental DNA (eDNA) as a new tool to detect species found nowhere else on Earth, without disturbing them.

Faster. Less invasive. Better information for conservation.

An emu dad has his work cut out for him. Once the eggs are laid, his mate's role is done and his begins, incubating the eggs and caring for the chicks once they hatch for up to two years. As we head towards Father’s Day, we’re celebrating dads in all their forms! 💛

And did you know, our "A Dad Like No Other" bush gift supports the work we do to protect emus and the habitats they call home. Learn more 👉 https://t.co/uABn2TYoR8

A Dusky Hopping Mouse is smaller than your hand. Finding it across 230,000 hectares of remote Country? Nearly impossible, until now.

Our scientists are testing eDNA and smarter feral cat control to protect it.

Earlier this year record-breaking rainfall caused widespread flooding across Bush Heritage's Edgbaston Special Wildlife Reserve. The floodwaters allowed the highly damaging and invasive Eastern Gambusia (Gambusia holbrooki) to enter the isolated artesian springs which are home to the Red-finned Blue-eye. Since then, our staff and volunteers have been working tirelessly to save the tiny native fish found nowhere else in the world, before it's too late. Full story 👉 https://t.co/Ah2p1ojGbz
