Several species of migratory shorebirds spend the warm months in a city estuary in Australia. Researchers examined how invasive red foxes might be disturbing these populations as they try to fatten up for their northward journeys.

Litoria littlejohni is #Endangered & @ConservationUon recently got the chance to apply some of our research knowledge to help improve its plight by creating artificial ponds to increase habitat and restore connectivity. Within 3 months, the ponds had LLJ in them @Uni_Newcastle

Exciting day on the @Uni_Newcastle Wild #Nepal @NewColomboPlan trip where we learned how the local community has worked so successfully to conserve #vultures after the diclofenac devastation. Saw 7 species!

[Matt Hayward @ConservResearch]

40 km of trekking through high altitudes in the Annapurna region has left sore muscles & amazing memories, with unforgettable learning experiences of the community conservation initiatives conducted by the @NTNC team. The @uni_newcastle team was supported by the @NewColomboPlan.

Newly discovered Australian frogs reveal startling truths about climate adaptation! Are we losing these species forever? Get the details here: https://t.co/QjqcbsIShA #ClimateChange #AmphibianConservation

[Louise Williams @BirdsByLou]

I’m excited to share that the first chapter of my PhD has just been published in the Journal of Wildlife Management! If you’re curious about fox predation on shorebirds, eDNA, camera trapping, or simply wondering what I’ve been up to, check it out! https://t.co/DY0B97ERPu
