Biodiversity protection in action
Sharing nature-inspired updates on Biodiversity Legacy activities, partnerships and connections across our wide country and diverse landscapes.
Helping Hands for the Sheoak
Sheoaks are the main source of food for Glossy Black Cockatoo, whose habitat was severely impacted by the East Gippsland fires. The Helping Hands project builds on recovery works already undertaken to replant and restore Sheoaks on private properties.
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.
Making connections for icon and threatened species
Given its commitment to landscape-scale ecological protection and the development of community biolinks, it follows that Biodiversity Legacy would also consider how to protect flagship and icon species.
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.
