Biodiversity protection in action
Sharing nature-inspired updates on BioDiversity Legacy activities, partnerships and connections across our wide country and diverse landscapes.
Why community conservation is the missing link
Also known as greenways, green belts, shelterbelts and wildlife corridors, biolinks are an attracting concept appealing to a broad cross section of people as a visible solution to habitat fragmentation. But do they work – and what makes them work?
Helping Hands for the Sheoak Project
Wildlife Unlimited, in partnership with local landholders and mentored by BioDiversity Legacy, is leading the Helping Hands for the Sheoak project – an ambitious effort to restore stands of Sheoaks on private land and increase the availability of feed trees for the Glossy Black-cockatoo.
Last stand for Endangered tree ferns
Around 10 years ago, Stuart Inchley and Victoria Johnson stumbled across a 300+ acre property for sale in the hills of South Gippsland. It took them several years to survey the property, finding large population of Critically Endangered Slender Tree-ferns.
Protecting our coastal saltmarshes
Fringing Corner Inlet in South Gippsland are some of the most floristically diverse coastal saltmarshes in the country – marshes that capture and store carbon at rates 30-50 times higher than the equivalent area of terrestrial forests.
