A big shout out to @photographersdownunder who installed these stunning @hollowloghomes nest boxes they created at our #queenslandglidernetwork Greater Glider and Nest Box Building workshop with @hollowloghomes and #logancitycouncil last weekend! Incredible work for wildlife that is already attracting little visitors 👏🐦❤️

Posted @withregram • @photographersdownunder Our local residents have been busy investigating the new nest boxes we installed last week.

It takes hundreds of years for trees to naturally form hollows and sadly most animals are forced out of areas when their original homes are cut down. Most native animals are unable to adapt like the possums in your roof, or the micro-bats in your shower curtain. Supplying nest boxes to lessen the competition for tree hollows encourages animals out of houses and into safer areas, whilst also freeing up hollows for the owls, gliders & cockatoos with specific hollow requirements until new hollows become available. Special thanks to @hollowloghomes & @wildlifequeensland for these beautiful nest boxes, already proving their value to the local wildlife!

A stunning butterfly design by @ruth.cadioli.art 🦋
We thank Ruth so much for her incredible support, raising funds to help threatened wildlife.
Don't miss @ruth.cadioli.art at the @finders_keepers markets in Brisbane this coming September 3, 4 and 5. ❤️

Posted @withregram • @ruth.cadioli.art Working on a new collection of beautiful pins for release this spring at @finders_keepers !! Did you know I will be there??? So exciting!!!
Here I’m working on one of the designs for an Apollo Jewel butterfly from far north QLD. I’m focusing on a series of endemic species that are having a hard time - I will be using these pretties to raise some funds for @wildlifequeensland. This one just scrapes in on the list with a 2% likelihood of extinction. So it’s a perfect time to step in and act to change this 💗

Some incredible footage of a male Lumholtz’s tree kangaroo (Dendrolagus lumholtzi) feeding in the canopy.

The Indigenous names for this species are boongarry, Marbi and Muppie.

Two species of tree kangaroo are endemic to Australia - the Lumholtz’s and Bennett’s tree kangaroos. The Lumholtz’s is the smallest of the species, weighing around 7kg with an average body length of 50-65cm.

Tree kangaroos are found in the tropical rainforest canopies of NE QLD, and are Australia’s only tree-dwelling macropods.

@lerako captured this gorgeous guy in the Atherton Tablelands. He says,
“Every time I am passing by the Atherton tablelands I make sure to stop at the nerada tea plantation and look along the road to see if I can stop them in the roadside vegetation... Australia has such incredible wildlife 💚”

We totally agree!

How lucky are we to have such a unique native animal in our own back yard?! 😍

But platypus numbers are dwindling and we urgently need more population and distribution data to help monitor and protect this elusive species into the future.

@platypus_protector and #wildlifequeensland need your help to find platypus in the Upper Dawson River using eDNA (sampling water to find platypus DNA!). Join our free workshops on 26 June in Taroom and Theodore to find out more. Register via the link in our bio👆

Is it a flying carpet? 🤔
No, it's the beautiful yellow-bellied glider in all its fluffy glory, here showing the unique gliding membrane (patagium) which stretches from the fifth finger of the hand to the ankle.
If you've never heard the call of a yellow-bellied glider, it’s one of the most unique animal sounds you can hear in the Australian bush. Sam Horton from @yellowbelliedgliderproject managed to record this amazing call. Swipe right to hear 👉
The first call you hear is a recording that Sam played to get a glider to respond; the second and third calls you hear are two separate yellow-bellied gliders responding ♥️

Happy wildlife Wednesday! 🦇 Did you know: Flyin

Happy wildlife Wednesday! 🦇
Did you know: Flying foxes give birth upside down and catch their pup in their wings. Amazing, right? 😮

What's even more amazing are these incredible captures by @bat.reach of this spectacled flying fox mother bringing her pup into the world. 😍🍼
Note: these images were shot with a zoom lens, mum and bub were not disturbed and we are happy to say they are reported to be doing well.

Today, 8 June is World Ocean Day, a day to celebra

Today, 8 June is World Ocean Day, a day to celebrate and take action for our ocean. 🌊🐬🌏

Just like national parks provide protection for land animals, marine protected areas provide a sanctuary for ocean animals like dugongs, turtles and dolphins by creating a safe place to live away from harmful human activities. Marine parks play an important role in arresting the decline in fish populations - and there is even the possibility of reversing the decline in well-managed marine parks, and providing marine ecosystem services, including but not limited to waste assimilation and coastal protection.

Currently, only 7% of our ocean is part of a marine protected area. It’s a start, but scientists have determined we need to protect at least 30% of our planet, land and ocean, by the year 2030.
Sign the WOD online petition to protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030 👉 https://bit.ly/3g3BGvA
Or head to https://worldoceanday.org/

Marine parks will be a focus of Wildlife Queensland’s campaign activity in 2022. Stay tuned!

Posted @withregram • @tenlittlepieces A brilliant morning to open the @sunshinecoastenvirocouncil #worldenvironmentday festival welcomed by Gubbi Gubbi elders to honour this beautiful country.
