Following the Queensland Government's ban on a var

Following the Queensland Government's ban on a variety of single-use plastic items in September this year, Queenslanders are now being asked to have their say on what single-use plastics should be banned next.

This second tranche includes coffee cups and lids, plastic cups and lids, heavyweight and produce bags, plastic balloon and cotton bud sticks, plastic newspaper wraps, all oxo-degradable plastics and polystyrene meat and fruit trays. All items with ready alternatives.

‘It will make Queensland one of the leading jurisdictions dealing with plastic litter and waste,’ said Toby Hutcheon, Campaign Manager for Boomerang Alliance.

Submissions open today, 6 December 2021 and will close on 28 January 2022.

Happy International Volunteer Day! 🙌

On #ivd2021 we pay tribute to volunteers across the globe, ‘volunteering now for our common future’ and making our world a better place to be. Wildlife Queensland volunteers play a vital role in our organization – both in the office and in the field, helping to protect and conserve our native wildlife. Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers for your dedication and generous support. Our organization would not exist without you! 🙏❤️

Further information about volunteering with Wildlife Queensland is at https://wildlife.org.au/volunteers/

*****************************
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: Help Scenic Rim brush-tailed rock wallabies and gliders in January 2022

A friend of brush-tailed rock wallabies needs fit and strong volunteers to help install a drought and fire-protective watering system for these gorgeous wallabies high in rocky terrain on the Scenic Rim, near Main Range National Park, as well as helping install glider boxes in mid-January 2022. Helping carry equipment up steep terrain and installing next boxes comes with rewards of great mountain views and your chance to observe rock wallabies and other wildlife up close – as well as the fulfilling feeling of knowing that these mammals are protected during fire or drought. An overnight stay/campout is also possible if desired.

Contact communications@wildlife.org.au if interested or for more information.

It's officially peak wet season - and frog breeding season - in Queensland! 🐸☔

Now is a great time to explore your local environment and listen for the croaky chorus of male frogs calling to attract female frogs. Record a frog call with the free @frogidaus app to find out which species it is.
Or if you'd rather explore from the comfort of your couch, check out the new @qldfrogs interactive educational tool which lets you explore the habitat of 11 SEQ frog species and find the frogs within them – from your desktop or smartphone.

In September, @cityofgoldcoast Councillors voted 8 to 5 to reject the 100-year+ development application for Nucrush Quarry at Oxenford, but while that particular battle was won, the larger war looks set to continue. Of particular concern to Wildlife Queensland was the proposal’s potential for extreme, irreversible environmental damage.

On 10 November, 15 native animals and 8 plants had their conservation status amended. But not every status update is a sordid tale of conservation mismanagement; some result from the discovery of new species, either living or long extinct.

Turtles are on the move, so please drive carefully

Turtles are on the move, so please drive carefully. This sweet little Broad-shelled turtle was found in the middle of a busy road - luckily unharmed. 🐢❤️

Please read the important message from @faunacatcher below👇

Posted @withregram • @faunacatcher Turtles are on the move! Please drive carefully in wet conditions, not just for your own safety, but for our wildlife too!

Fauna spotter Shanna rescued this gorgeous Broad-shelled Turtle from the middle of a busy road today - how it hadn't been hit, she's not sure! Freshwater turtles tend to move about a lot after rain, looking for a change of scene in a different water body or, in the case of females at this time of year, suitable nesting sites to lay their eggs. They can be slow, and of course they have zero road sense, so they are highly vulnerable to vehicle strikes.

If you want to move a turtle out of harm's way and it's safe for you to do so, gently pick it up by the shell and move it off the road in the direction it was heading. If it's injured, take it to your nearest vet or wildlife hospital (it's quite remarkable what wildlife vets can do to mend cracked shells and other injuries).

This guy endured a short trip in the car to a nearby creek, where he'll hopefully find plenty of lady turtles to hang out with!

OMG 8 baby northern quolls 😍
Such wonderful work and incredible footage captured by @4elementsconsulting
Watch for the part where pups are hanging off mum’s back ❤️😁

The northern quoll is the smallest of the four Australian quoll species. The endangered marsupial carnivore previously occurred across most of the northern third of Australia, but its range has declined significantly. In Queensland, they are found from about Cooktown to Rockhampton with core populations in rocky and/or high rainfall areas.

Quoll Seekers Network: searching for quolls in Queensland’s Mary River Catchment

There remain no contemporary rock-solid records of quolls in the Mary River Catchment, so we can’t rule out that they are extinct in the area. BUT, we have only scratched the surface, unconfirmed sightings continue to come in from the Kenilworth area, Bellthorpe, Black Mountain, Widgee, and Amamoor, said Dr Scott Burnett who presented at Wildlife Queensland’s Quoll Discovery Day last month.

Download Scott’s presentation and find out more about the Quoll Seekers Network “Quolls in the Southern Mary River Catchment” project and how you can report sightings and join the search for quolls 👉

Posted @withregram • @4elementsconsulting This might just be the world's cutest video footage. One of our radio-tracked northern quolls (Dasyurus hallucatus) with her EIGHT babies 😍. This is really special, and a beautiful example of the success of our northern quoll management plan at Mt Emerald 😊

Mahogany Monday! ❤️

The mahogany glider (Petaurus gracilis) is one of Australia’s most threatened mammals, found only in a very restricted area of coastal woodland in far north Queensland. With such a limited distribution and the ongoing effects of past, extensive habitat clearing, the future of this species will rely on our ability to manage the remaining essential habitat, restore connectivity and hopefully create new viable habitat for the future.
