It is one of the richest areas on the planet for biodiversity. To a biologist like me, this is the nearest place to heaven on earth … Gondwana Link is a fantastic program in the scale of its ambition, and the notion of trying to connect and restore from the south-west forests to the Great Western Woodlands is a very powerful idea.

Keeping a close eye on who’s there

For several years the Ngadju Rangers have been setting up remote cameras to monitor what’s happening when they aren’t there. The rangers have used them to monitor whether malleefowl are using a nest, what animals are using a water source, who lives in hollow logs, and what animals are visiting the recently burnt country.
