Toads are on track to reach the Pilbara in the next 20 years. If they do, they'll threaten 25 native mammals and reptiles- 8 of which occur nowhere else in the world. The Toad Containment Zone can stop them, here's how! #wildoz #tcz theconversation.com/cane-toads-a...
Cane toads are hopping towards the Pilbara, but a water-free containment zone could stop them
Cane toads will reach Broome in the next couple of years. Creating a waterless “containment zone” is the only way to stop them pillaging the Pilbara.

Blessed are those willing to act in the face of environmental threats. Saint @judydunlop.bsky.social inspired all at her #ESA2025 talk on stopping cane toads in their north western tracks.
All power to the WA toad ‘stoppers’.

I rescued this one from the side of the road on a holiday to Uluru last year. We bonded a bit before it ran off into some grassy thing.

Cane toads are advancing on WA's unique Pilbara region. @judydunlop.bsky.social and her team have a plan to stop them!

@ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2025 🌏 we're hearing about the Toad Containment Zone - creating a waterless barrier across the Pilbara to stop the invasion.

Breaking news- fungi are plants now in SA 😁🍄 #esa2025 Phillipa McCormack gives us a rundown of thoughtful new and more flexible nature laws in SA.
Including learning lessons from extinction?! Whodathunk it. #wildoz

Today! #esa2025
The motto of #ESA2025 this year is "Biodiversity on the brink – BOLD ACTIONS for a resilient future"

On Thu I'm presenting on a super bold, landscape-scale biodiversity project that will keep 10-25 species from being added to Threatened species list.

Thu 1030!
Big room!
Comfy chairs!
Great photos!

’Tis conference season! This is my third, and I’m sort of all drawn out… pun intended. Here is the second logo reimagining for #ESA2025 which is from 23–28 November in Tarndanya (Adelaide)⁠ — Kaurna Country esa2025.org.au

Northern quoll, Wijeengadda, is culturally important to Dambimamgari Traditional Owners in WA Kimberley. Quolls threatened by toxic cane toads. Rangers and AWC tried conditioned-taste-aversion trial of cane toad sausages to train them not to eat toads. Unfortunately quolls declined by ~70%. #esa2025

Fab talk from @megcevans.bsky.social about government trying to use capitalism (for profit model) to attempt to solve problems created by capitalism (environmental damage and biodiversity loss).
But $2bn to solve biodiversity crisis isn't much compared to many other publicly funded things.

Some fantastic tips on engaging with the media coming from hugely experienced @biodivcouncil.bsky.social Jaana Dielenberg and Claire Peddie @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2025

- short, clear and fun pitches
- prep photos/videos ahead of time
- say yes to radio & tv to expand your audience

What a treat @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2024 to hear from @lilyvaneeden.bsky.social and @megcevans.bsky.social about pathways to impact for your research, especially how to inform policy.

- get to know how the government works, the mess and mechanisms!

Fab talks from @guyballard.bsky.social & Annalie Dorph today about monitoring feral cats. 1) how best to estimate populations? 2) how to detect change following management actions? These are Qs everyone asks around Aus, that keep me awake at night.

Standardised monitoring protocol, anyone? #esa2025

Who's seen a grey Falcon in three states simultaneously? @ecosystemunraveller.com of course!

Love hearing how Dave has developed an awesome undergrad ecology field course. Sharing all the adventures of the Aussie outback with students means lessons in both life and biodiversity.
