A look inside: Wildlife Australia 60th anniversary Spring 2022 edition
There are a lot of gliders in this edition. There is a lot about Wildlife Queensland in this edition too. It is something of a coincidence — but it is a happy one.
Probably no other organisation has done as much for gliders as has Wildlife Queensland, now celebrating its 60th year. The cute little night-gliding marsupials are miraculous and should, by rights, be a ‘people’s favourite’ — but so little has been known of them until recent times.
One of the groups to thank for changing that is Wildlife Queensland’s Queensland Glider Network (QGN) founded in 2006. There were thought to be just five glider species in Australia, but recent surveys and research by QGN now confirm at least 10 species.
Without the work of QGN and its linked projects, such as the recently formed Yellow-bellied Glider Project in Logan City, many colonies of gliders would have been lost forever, pushing them closer to extinction. Wildlife Queensland’s Cassowary Coast-Hinchinbrook Branch members are also celebrating the news that their long-awaited Mahogany Glider Recovery Plan has just been approved by the Federal and State Governments.
Wildlife Queensland was founded on the principle that all species of native flora and fauna warrant preservation, otherwise complex habitat systems will fail and diminish Australia’s true ‘natural’ wealth. That’s why it continues to grow conservation networks that today assist the brush-tailed rock-wallaby, the Richmond birdwing butterfly, quoll species, the platypus, and the echidna, and encompass the broader FaunaWatch and Coast Citizens Science Watch groups.
That’s why Wildlife Queensland is known for being more of a ‘doer’ than a talker. We hope you enjoy this 60th anniversary digest on a great Australian conservation organisation and the far-sighted volunteers who have made it that way.

Articles
Most articles are written by experts or professionals and are provided pro bono, as the publisher is not-for-profit, but all nature lovers are invited to pitch an article by submitting a brief proposal to the editor.
Submission guidelines:
- The editor will provide a clear brief and a 4–8 week schedule for the final draft copy.
- Article submissions should be between 1,000 to 2,000 words in length. A short biography of the writer is requested. Preferred formatting is Microsoft Word or any text-only format.
- Use first-person narrative style for feature articles.
- Use sensory storytelling (plenty of description of sights, sounds and smells) to engage readers and give them an idea of what it’s like out there in the field.
- Articles should excite readers about science and wildlife, raise important conservation topics, and reassure subscribers that writers like you — and not-for-profits like us — are focused on protecting the continent’s biodiversity.
