Urgent expressions of Interest are sought from individuals, partnerships and groups for potential revegetation sites in the Murray Mallee Local Action Planning area to restore habitat for threatened species.

Project proposals are currently being prepared to secure funding for revegetation programs in our area. Sites that will directly benefit threatened birds including Malleefowl will be considered for inclusion in the grant applications.

If you believe you have a suitable site and would like to be involved in this project please contact us by July 11th 2017, in order to meet application deadlines.

The Department of the Environment and Energy, together with the CSIRO are undertaking an investigation to understand how Australia’s biodiversity has been changing in recent years.

As a part of this investigation we are seeking to understand how the 1°C increase in surface temperature experienced over the past century may have contributed to recent changes in biodiversity across the Australian landscape. To this end we are very interested in hearing about the experiences and observations of people who are familiar with different parts of Australia. We hope that their insights and stories will provide us with a unique view of how things are changing.

To participate, you would need to be able to select a natural area (e.g. your local region or farm, a Nature Reserve, urban bushland) that you have been familiar with for at least the last 10 years. Note that we are interested both in areas where change has been observed and where change has not been observed.

The survey can be found here and is made up of a series of observational questions and an open section for people to tell us their stories. It would take about 30 minutes.

Additional information about the project can be found here.

If you think people in your network would be interested in participating, I can send you some additional text containing the survey link that you can use for distribution. My email address is Natasha.Porter@csiro.au.

Thanks for your time.
