A new conservation initiative is underway in the Wombeyan Valley to protect one of Australia’s most enchanting and endangered marsupials — the Southern Greater Glider.
Once common in eucalypt forests along Australia’s east coast, the Southern Greater Glider has experienced population declines of up to 80% areas such as the Greater Blue Mountains over the last […]

The community-tree planting event was coordinated by the K2W Link as part of Cores, Corridors and Koalas – a partnership between The Great Eastern Ranges and WWF-Australia to restore and connect […]
Scientists say Australia’s iconic Grey-headed flying foxes are abandoning traditional migratory routes and establishing camps in unexpected locations in the central west and southern tablelands. This behaviour is a symptom of climate change and habitat loss, putting both animals and communities under strain.
In rural areas, including Goulburn, around 1500 Grey-headed flying foxes frequently colonise the trees […]

A recent survey in the Greater Blue Mountains has found significantly increased populations and good post-fire recovery of the Southern Greater Glider in the vicinity of Wombeyan Karst Conservation Reserve. With the 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires resulting in an estimated 60% decline in the species in the region, these results are encouraging.
The survey provides key […]
