'Risky' decision to release rare Aussie creatures outside high-security fence
For a decade, a group of rare kangaroo-like marsupials have been protected behind a high-security fence. Protecting these brush-tailed bettongs at Australian Wildlife Conservancy's (AWC) 7,830-hectare Mount Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary was necessary because invasive cats and foxes have hunted them to near extinction in the wild. A small population of the critically endangered marsupials, which are also known as woylie, were taken to the sanctuary in 2015. Without the threat of predators, they bred from 162 individuals to over 1,000 over 10 years. This year, a decision was taken to release around 10 per cent beyond the fence. And this month a chosen few were set free across 70,000 hectares of land nearby where AWC has been reducing invasive predator numbers. The species once occupied 60 per cent of the mainland, but today their range has plummeted to less than 1 per cent. In Western Australia's Wheatbelt, where the sanctuary is located, they haven't been seen in the wild for over a century. Amazing photographs highlight gleeful moments woylie are released.

'While it is risky to release a predator-prone species such as the woylie into an area where cats are present, we sometimes have to take well-considered risks to advance conservation,' he said. 'We have evidence from previous releases of other species, and from monitoring the outcomes of predator control on the release site, to suggest that Woylies have a good chance of establishing outside the fence at Mt Gibson.' 🎣 Fisherman's sad admission highlights growing Aussie problem 🐸 Tiny creature that almost vanished in the 1990s secretly released 🕸️ Ominous sign for Australia's cities after deadly discovery in New Zealand Over the next few months, ecologists will monitor the animals.

Plantation drive marks Van Mahotsav at Army War College
Mhow: The Army War College (AWC), Mhow organised a grand plantation drive on its campus to mark 'Van Mahotsav' on Friday. Commandant, Lt General HS Sahi, along with other officers, veterans, their families and defence civilian employees took part in the drive. An AWC press release stated that over 5000 fruit-bearing, medicinal, and ornamental saplings of native species, including neem, peepal, mango, pomegranate, guava, litchi, lemon, amla, amaltas, gulmohar, jacaranda, and hibiscus, were planted across the campus. The initiative was part of a week-long festival dedicated to tree planting and environmental stewardship. Addressing the gathering during the event, Lt Gen Sahi emphasised the critical role of afforestation in combating climate change and preserving biodiversity. He said "Trees are the lungs of our planet and as stewards of our environment, it is our duty to nurture and protect them. AWC not only gives strategic military training to the officers, but also fosters a sustainable and responsible community."

WA Wildlife Sanctuaries
They may be blissfully unaware of it but many of Australia's endangered native animals owe their existence and continued welfare to the Australian Wildlife Conservancy. Martin Copley, a British-born conservationist and philanthropist who moved to Perth after making his fortune in insurance in the UK, founded the organisation in 1991 when he purchased the Karakamia Wildlife Sanctuary here in WA with aim of saving Australia's native native species. Karakamia covers 268ha in the Jarrah Forest Bioregion near Chidlow about an hour's drive north-east of Perth. When it was first acquired, it had a limited range of native mammals — but after the establishing a feral-proof fence in 1994 and eradicating predators inside — species such as woylie, quenda, tammar wallaby and brushtail possum were reintroduced and have flourished. The AWC's mission is to conserve all Australian wildlife and habitats. It's a nonprofit organisation which relies on philanthropists to acquire large tracts of land. It formed conservation partnerships with First Nations people, private landholders, and governments and has restored more than 50 populations of 20 threatened and locally extinct mammals to 10 sites around the country. AWC's also works hard to control introduced weeds and large feral herbivores such as camels, buffalo, horses and pigs — and it leads one of the largest ecological fire programs in the country. Karakamia was the first but AWC have five other wildlife sanctuaries in WA. + Charnley River-Artesian Range Wildlife Sanctuary in the Kimberley. + Mornington-Marion Downs Wildlife Sanctuary in the Kimberley + Faure Island Wildlife Sanctuary in the Shark Bay World Heritage area. + Mtt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary, about 350 km northeast of Perth. + Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary which forms an important wildlife corridor along the Avon River east of Perth. Conservation is AWC's primary objective but they do welcome visitors to some of their sanctuaries. Access changes from time to time so you will need to check to find out if you can visit. At the time of writing this, the only two sanctuaries you can visit are Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary and Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary. The Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary in the Avon Valley has several nice walking trails. Possum Loop is the shortest of the trails (2.3km). It features woodlands, wildflowers, creeks and waterfalls, making it ideal for families, older walkers and those seeking a easy walk. Quenda Circuit is a 6.5km walk of medium difficulty. It is the most popular trail at Paruna and it offers spectacular views of the Paruna Gorge, natural vegetation and even a historic monument. It is ideal for families, scout and school groups and nature enthusiasts. Numbat walking track is a 12km walk of medium to hard difficulty, taking about six to nine hours to complete. It combines sections of the Quenda and Possum trails, and offers creek lines, granite outcrops, wildflowers, and powderbark and wandoo forest. Paruna is open during daytime hours from May 1 to October 31. Visitor numbers are capped to protect the health of the sanctuary and minimise disturbance to wildlife. There's no overnight camping but there are picnic tables and toilets. Access to the sanctuary cost $11 per person and you will need a unique access code to enter, which will be emailed when you have completed your booking. Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary about 350km northeast of Perth spans an impressive 131,812ha and supports an extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna. Its varied landscapes includes rugged ranges and sandplains. Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary plays a critical role in safeguarding nearly 10 per cent of Australia's nationally threatened mammals. It is the site of Australia's most ambitious mammal restoration project , with 10 species reintroduced to its 7838ha feral predator-free area. the largest cat and fox-free area in mainland Western Australia. The sanctuary also protects 60 acacia species, including the rare and threatened Gibson and Ninghan wattles, which were established in an herbivore-free area in partnership with the WA Department of Parks and Wildlife. Visitors can enjoy self-guided drivers and walks via carefully marked drives and walking trails. Mt Gibson Quartz Ridge campground is open for bookings between May 1 and 30 September and offers unpowered caravan/campervan and tent sites. Facilities include a compost toilet, a simple camp kitchen with barbecues, and a central fire pit with supplied wood. Visitors must bring their own water, fuel, and must manage their waste. The road to access the campsite is only suitable for 4WD vehicles and visitor numbers are capped at a maximum of and eight vehicles and 25 people at any one time. It costs $20 per adult and $10 per night for children and all proceeds support AWC's conservation work. The Mornington Wilderness Camp at Mornington-Marion Downs Wildlife Sanctuary remains closed after it was impacted by the record high floods in 2023 and a spokesperson says there is no estimated reopening date for the camp at the moment. As mentioned earlier AWC is a nonprofit organisation and if you want to donate to this worthy cause visit The Australian Wildlife Conservancy is using AI technology to perfect its SmartGate which is designed to keep their fenced off areas predator free. The AWC manages a network of nine of these safe havens that play a critical role in protecting threatened wildlife from predation by introduced cats and foxes, who are the primary drivers of native mammal extinctions and ongoing declines in Australia. A prototype of the SmartGate has been trialled at AWC's Karakamia Wildlife Sanctuary since September 2024. A spokesperson explains: 'This is a double-gated enclosed tunnel that allows native species to move from one side of a feral predator-free fenced area to the other. 'The gate was deployed in a fenced pen within Karakamia's 286ha feral predator-free fenced area, with woylies as the target species.'
