    New approaches to climate-proof habitat by Ecologist, Paul Foreman

    Paul speaks about an exciting ecological restoration project being developed by the Alliance with the Taungurung people, Parks Victoria and the Heathcote community, the Spring Plains Watershed Repair project.   The project integrates a range of restoration techniques that, at least in central Victoria, have never before been combined at a landscape–scale to demonstrate how the health of bushland damaged by goldmining and timber cutting (amongst other things) can be quickly and cost effectively restored. This was originally presented as part of the Biolinks Alliance 2020 annual general meeting.

    Squirrel Glider Survey Design and Monitoring - Workshop

    Understanding population trends relies on long-term monitoring, confident assumptions about detectability and accurate/reliable species ID. Established survey techniques and emerging technology are improving Squirrel Glider detectability. These promise to increase the number of records in atlases and improve our overall understanding of population dynamics. What are the key elements of improving our understanding of Squirrel Glider distribution, abundance and conservation status? Hear our expert panel of speakers discuss how to adequately design and implement surveys and monitoring for Squirrel Gliders Expert panel: Dylan McWhinney (DM Ecological and Albury Conservation Company) Dr Rodney Van Der Ree (University of Melbourne and WSP Australia) Associate Professor Ross Goldingay (Southern Cross University) Jerry Alexander (DELWP) Facilitated by Stuart Cowell (Conservation Management PTY LTD) Presented as part of the Biolinks Alliance Greater and Squirrel Glider Symposium (October 2020).

    Squirrel Glider Habitat Health and Restoration - Workshop

    Restoring and reconnecting remnant habitat in highly fragmented agricultural landscapes where Squirrel Gliders persist is a key action to ensure their survival. This workshop will consider best practices for restoring landscapes for these species. Hear our expert panel of speakers discuss their approach to Squirrel Glider habitat health and restoration. Expert panel: PhD. candidate Erica Marshall (University of Melbourne) Dr Mason Crane (NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust) Gary Howling (Great Eastern Ranges Connectivity Conservation Initiative) Facilitated by Stuart Cowell (Conservation Management PTY LTD) Presented as part of the Biolinks Alliance Greater and Squirrel Glider Symposium (October 2020).

    Squirrel Glider Citizen Science, Community Engagement and Data Quality - Workshop

    Gliders are an ideal flagship species to engage the broader community in meaningful conservation action. Use of cit sci atlases has flourished and the data informs public knowledge. How is it going to be used? Hear our expert panel of speakers discuss their approach to citizen science, community engagement and data quality for the Squirrel Glider species.   Expert panel: Lou Bull (Burrumbuttock Squirrel Glider LAMP) Dr Kylie Soanes (University of Melbourne) Mary Bonet (Glideways Kanangra-Boyd to Wyangala Link) Jess Lawton (Connecting Country) Peter Menkhorst (Arthur Rylah Institute DELWP) Facilitated by Stuart Cowell (Conservation Management PTY LTD) Presented as part of the Biolinks Alliance Greater and Squirrel Glider Symposium (October 2020).

    Squirrel Glider "State of Play" live panel discussion

    Our expert panel discusses the current "State of Play" of Squirrel Gliders and asks the question "Where are we and where do we want to be in 10-20 years?"  They cover issues such as the impact of fire, climate change, forest conservation, the lessons from COVID-19, farmers as "eco-friends", the individuals involved in the "extinction rebellion", the suppression of science, current political framework and government intervention, as well as reviewing key new scientific insights and finally ecosystem restoration asking - "How do we make 2020-2030 the Decade of Ecosystem restoration?"    Expert panel: Dr Mason Crane NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust Dr Rodney van Der Ree University of Melbourne & WSP Australia Associate Professor Ross Goldingay Southern Cross University Jerry Alexander DELWP Facilitated by Gregg Borschmann Presented as part of the Biolinks Alliance Greater and Squirrel Glider Symposium (October 2020).

    Great Eastern Ranges Glideways Program - Q&A

    The team involved in the Great Eastern Ranges Glideways Program discuss the differences in glider populations across the Eastern Australia, from Central Victoria to the Sunshine Coast hinterland; the impact of the Black Summer fires; and how multiple projects across a number of regions amount to a bigger approach to glider conservation. Hear more about the experiences of Great Eastern Ranges partners involved in Glideways projects (past, present and future) and glider habitat conservation generally. Glideways is a program coordinated by the Great Eastern Ranges Initiative.  Presented as part of the Biolinks Alliance Greater and Squirrel Glider Symposium (October 2020).
