So true @bobbybert_ ❤️ and what a magnificent capture of this adorable little brushtail possum in his home.

Posted @withregram • @bobbybert_ A dead tree still has life to give!
I asked this little #possum what it thought of their home. Possum said: "Gets better with age!"

Are you ready to take the Plastic Free July challe

Are you ready to take the Plastic Free July challenge? ♻️👊

Getting rid of takeaway plastic packaging will only happen when governments ban these unnecessary products. It's also about all of us taking personal action, showing it's necessary and possible.

Wildlife Queensland is asking you to join the challenge and choose to refuse single-use plastic this Plastic Free July.

It's easy, here's how 👉 https://wildlife.org.au/ready-to-take-the-plastic-free-july-challenge/

Happy #frogfriday everyone!🐸
Check out this stunning Eastern Sedgefrog (Litoria fallax) sitting on a Batwing Coral Tree (Erythrina vespertilio) 😍
This little frog is usually a green colour but it can change colour to be brown or a mix of the two colours.
The picture was taken at Mt Perry in the Flinders Peak region, South East Queensland where the Wildlife Queensland team recently completed a three-month infra-red camera monitoring program looking for spotted-tailed quoll.

Today is World Rainforest Day!🌴 World Rainfores

Today is World Rainforest Day!🌴 World Rainforest Day is a collaborative effort to raise awareness and encourage action to save one of Earth’s most precious resources, our rainforests.
Rainforests are vital for the survival of life on Earth. They absorb our carbon dioxide, stabilize climate patterns, and are home to half the world’s plant and animal species.

Here in Queensland, we have what is widely acknowledged by scientists as the oldest tropical rainforest in the world and what Sir David Attenborough described as “the most extraordinary place on earth”- the Daintree Rainforest.
Did you know?🤔 The Daintree Rainforest ... * Is over 135 million years old.
* Is part of the Wet Tropics of Queensland Rainforest that spans across the Cairns Region, and covers a vast area of 1200km².
* Is home to the world’s most diverse range of fauna and flora. It includes 142 rare, threatened and endangered species of plants and 44 rare, threatened or endangered species of animals - many of which are endemic to the region. These include the Musky-rat Kangaroo, Spotted-tail Quoll (D. maculatus gracilis - north-east Queensland subspecies) and Southern Cassowary.

Happy #frogfriday everyone!🐸 Who's hoping for some fab frog finds over the weekend?
If you're in Queensland or New South Wales (and some parts of Victoria) you may come across the eastern dwarf tree frog (Litoria fallax) - also known as the eastern sedge-frog.
This lovely little #treefrog reaches up to 2.5cm in body length and has a bright green or bronze back, with a bronze strip from the tip of the snout along the sides if the back is green, or small green patches if the back is bronze, and a white stripe from under the eye to the arm.
Whilst the eastern dwarf tree frog isn't listed as an endangered species, many of Queensland’s frogs are under threat from habitat loss and degradation. Find out more and how you can help via the link in our bio ☝️ 📸IG / @laj_wildlife

Who’s loving hanging out at the beach and parks

Who’s loving hanging out at the beach and parks now that restrictions have eased? 🏖️😎 IG/ @photos_by_ruley spotted these two little Egrets hanging out on the beach at Currimundi Lake (Kathleen McArthur) Conservation Park on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. The park is named after botanical artist and conservationist, Kathleen McArthur - one of Wildlife Queensland’s founders.

What’s not to love about Australian birds 🐦?

What’s not to love about Australian birds 🐦? Such stunning beauty and diversity! In fact, Aussies love their birds so much an estimated 30-60 per cent of households feed backyard wild birds.
But it this a good idea? Wildlife Queensland recently caught up with urban ecologist and pioneering researcher in bird feeding, Professor Darryl Jones, to chat about this somewhat contentious subject.

What's more adorable than a striped possum? Two striped possums! 😍😍 A close relative of the sugar glider, the bushy-tailed striped possum (Dactylopsila trivirgata) is endemic to North Queensland and can only be found along the coast from Townsville to Cape York. However, these naturally shy, solitary marsupials are rarely seen - and rarely seen together - which makes this amazing capture even more amazing! 📸IG: @tomfrogbrooke

TODAY IS WORLD OCEANS DAY! 🌊 🐢 🐟
8 June is World Oceans Day, a day to celebrate our oceans and reflect on how to protect them.

Did you know?
🥤 There are currently 5.25 trillion pieces of micro and macro plastics in our oceans and every year another 8 million tonnes of plastic waste makes its way into our oceans.
🐢 More than 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals die from plastic pollution every year.

Most of what ends up in our oceans are single-use plastics. The best way to prevent more plastics from entering our oceans is to avoid purchasing and using single-use plastic items.

THIS WORLD OCEANS DAY WHAT WILL YOU SWAP FOR GOOD?
♻️ Get started with 25% OFF our range of reusable products until 12 June*.
📔 You'll also enjoy 25% OFF our beautiful marine life books and journals.

Today is World Environment Day! 🌏♻️🐨 Ann

Today is World Environment Day! 🌏♻️🐨 Annually observed on 5 June, World Environment Day stresses the importance of everyone’s active participation in environment conservation and sustainable living. This year, the theme is ‘Celebrating Biodiversity’. In Australia alone, 1,800 animal and plant species currently face extinction.

Here are some ways you can act #ForNature and help protect biodiversity this #WorldEnvironmentDay: .
🌿 Create a wildlife-friendly garden
- Attract and provide food for local fauna, such as birds, bees and butterflies by planting native plants, vines and fruit trees in your garden. Butterflies and bees love common garden plants like basil, rosemary and lavender.
- Install a birdbath or put out a shallow dish of water for wildlife to drink and bathe in.
- Create a supplementary hollow to help protect wildlife by installing a nest box.
- Build a frog hotel or bee hotel in your backyard.
- Keep wildlife safe by keeping cats indoors with outdoor time in an enclosure, on a leash, or with supervised play.
See 👉 https://wildlife.org.au/living-with-wildlife/ .
♻️ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- Ditch single-use plastics
- Take your empty drink containers to a Containers for Change collection point donate drink container refunds to help our native wildlife

Posted @withregram • @cicadafilmfestival It was another totally wild day, this time on the Redcliffe Penisula! Totally Wild Reporter Stacey Thomson interviewed 2019 3rd place Winner Ocean Wild who’s giving it another shot this year. *Non-Spoiler Alert: it’s a must-see movie in the making!^ There to tell Stacey about the CFF was Youth Ambassador @kurt_jones03 of @jonesconservation And, to capture some magic moments for us was @jontydbrown of @gotellmedia. Geoffrey Redman of the Redcliffe Environmental Forum dropped in and Debra Henry enjoyed rubbing elbows with (Ranger) Stacey as they recalled St Helena Island-Noogoon National Park. Ocean, Kurt and Jonty all did an amazing job. Their passion warmed the heart on a very windy, chilly afternoon. Help youth to be heard!
