@EuanRitchie1 I’m keen to - have struggled to find funding - but keen to talk

Wouldn’t it be brilliant if our posts for #worldwildlifeday were all about #pangolin populations bouncing back from where they currently sit as a direct result of the wholly unsustainable and utterly devastating #illegalwildlifetrade? But in the meantime…https://t.co/hHVyV0TtaC

@teamswiftparrot oh my god - such a drama queen (Im referring to the plant, btw)

[Leanne Wicker @LeanneWicker]

Yes - do. And while you are there, do more than just sign up for bar news - become a member of the national coordinating body for wildlife health here in Australia! https://t.co/8QO83UsQYa

We just found out that the people of NSW have spent another $9 million over the past year subsiding the native forest logging industry in NSW.
Scenes in the video below are unfolding everyday across the state, destroying critical wildlife habitat. It's a disgrace.

@sherbertvet Jaz Hufschmid has always said 75% ethanol and then ambient. higher concentration of alcohol can damage mouthparts and make ID harder

@teamswiftparrot Yep - thought that was some incredibly early feathered chicks!

Possibly one of the best articles I’ve read about adult diagnosis of ADHD…and Ive read more than a few since my own diagnosis 2-and-a-bit years ago #adhdwomen #Neurodiversity

@drmparrott @ZoosVictoria Funding to support long term monitoring and projects with sustainability, rather than small grants with short time frames which require a disproportionate amount of admin and far less opportunity to have real and significant impact for our species.

Brilliant to know that next time - because there will be a next time - we will have plenty of healing spaces for the wildlife who are impacted by climate change and environmental disasters. #wildlifewelfare matters https://t.co/Hsl0SHs1Di

I love being able to share the work of Save Vietnam's Wildlife (SVW) with a broader audience. This piece was from an Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) series called “Pandemic Warriors”, and it was a great opportunity to show how incredible #pangol…https://t.co/2FBuhX21iD
