"Linking the Landscape - The Cobaw Biolink" by Newham Landcare

Newham Landcare has produced this 5 minute video which promotes the important role of the Cobaw Biolink in enhancing the connections between Mount Macedon and the Cobaw Range on both private and public land. This video aims to engage landholders and residents and make them aware that their contribution, no matter how big or small, is environmentally vital. Protecting existing high quality native vegetation and creating connectivity in the biolink will help native plants and animals adapt to climate change. Spotlight surveys on habitat-rich roadsides round Newham found more animals present in the Cobaw Biolink than during similar surveys on Mount Macedon.

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?"

Greater Glider mitigation strategies workshop

Greater Glider populations have a disjunct distribution across their range largely due to habitat loss such as clearing, logging and fires, but also resulting from historic climate change that has left some populations isolated (eg. Wombat Forest, Strathbogie Ranges, South Gippsland). Climate change is impacting remnant habitats’ ability to support glider populations.
