Cane toads are advancing on WA's unique Pilbara region. @judydunlop.bsky.social and her team have a plan to stop them!
@ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2025 🌏 we're hearing about the Toad Containment Zone - creating a waterless barrier across the Pilbara to stop the invasion.

'We don't have time to despair'. Great thoughts from @drphilmccormack.bsky.social at #esa2025 Rocking talk, and so important that we influence the laws on how we treat and manage nature

This morning @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2025 James Brazill-Boast shares the impact that private land conservation can have.
60% of Australia = privately owned!
🌏
He highlights we need to move away from the idea that conservation only protects 'jewels', to one where we also restore the shabby bits.

Stop the press, @judydunlop.bsky.social will be speaking on the Toad Containment Zone tomorrow morning! @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2025 🌏
Here's what I've been up to lately- working on the Toad Containment Zone #TCZ - an area South of Broome with no free water for toads #wildoz

Here’s a simple solution to the cane toad invasion. And it costs just 66¢ a hectare
A narrow patch of land stands between the invasive species and the Pilbara – 27 million hectares where native species thrive. A new program taking aim at the cane toads’ Achilles heel.

Xin Han from @westsyduhie.bsky.social is unravelling the effects of elevation on plant traits.
Why do tropical but not not subtropical forests follow expected treds. Looks like soil might be at play.

Exploring landscape of fear, Eamonn looked at fox, dingo & human interaction.
Humans + dingos = terrified foxes
Levels of human disturbance change predator-prey interactions & animal traits!
