    Swift Parrots: Beating the Odds

    The swift parrot is one of Australia's most critically endangered birds, with around 750 mature individuals breeding only in Lutruwita/Tasmania.  In the first episode of Swift Parrots: Beating the Odds, we share our findings from monitoring nest outcomes on mainland Tasmania, backed by close to two decades of long-term population monitoring. Field observations, passive acoustic monitoring across nearly 150 sites, field cameras trained on active nests, glider surveys, health and diet analysis, and swift parrot mortality investigations show the species successfully nest and raise chicks wherever remaining habitat supports them, even in the presence of sugar gliders.  While competition and predation from a range of species impact nest survival, ongoing habitat loss remains the decisive threat to the species’ future.  To have any hope of reversing the swift parrot population trajectory, our efforts must focus on protecting remaining breeding habitat. ---------------------------------------------------------- Read the report and find out more over at the Landscape Recovery Foundation website: https://landscaperecovery.com.au/projects/swift-parrot-conservation ---------------------------------------------------------- This work was supported by the DCCEEW Saving Native Species grant and was funded by Saving Native Species and envirodynamics.  ---------------------------------------------------------- CREDITS Podcast produced by envirodynamics.
