The world has lost one of its true heroes. RIP Dr Jane Goodall, our world is a much better place because you were in it, and we will keep fighting for conservation, just like you taught us.

This week I presented on the TSX @aus-tsx.bsky.social at the @ausmammals.bsky.social conference. Like last year, I had a great time! Such a welcoming and friendly group of researchers doing really important work for Australia's mammals. Also still #1 for the best conference dinner in my book.

Carlo Rondinini presenting today at #ICCB2025 on the global extinction risk of mammals in 2025.

Yesterday at #ICCB2025 I presented my poster on the Threatened Species Index (@aus-tsx.bsky.social). It was such a great time, thanks to everyone that came by for a chat!

Amazing first day at #ICCB2025 yesterday! So many incredible speed talks including A/Prof Michael Wasserman's presentation on Red Colobus in forest fragments near Kibale National Park, Uganda!

Our lime tree has been cooked in the Brissie heat! Trying everything we can think of to bring it back - any tips would be much appreciated! #gardening #citrus

I ask you, how many pairs is too many? I am obsessed with these earrings! 😍 #WildOz

Quick trip down south to Victoria and loving the cooler mornings! I had forgotten what it felt like to be cold! 😂 Cowwarr Weir in Gippsland was magical today.

I have been meaning to check out Oxley Creek Common for quite some time, mainly for the birds. I made a special trip today, only to realise when I got there that I had left my camera battery in the charger. 🤦‍♀️

First time seeing a Pale-headed Rosella in Qld after moving here a few years ago, and it was in our backyard. Beautiful! #WildOz #birds

I can't even remember the last time I saw a stick insect in the wild, so it was very cool finding this one in our garage! I couldn't determine what species it is though - any info is much appreciated #wildoz

A beautiful start to the morning: a kookaburra outside my kitchen window. One day I will learn to keep my camera in a convenient location (that, or I will finally upgrade my phone). 😅

What a wonderful surprise when you're at the office, having lunch outside and a colleague points and says 'echidna!'

Hey Bluesky, I'm Sarah 👋 I decided to create this account after having a blast at #ESAus24. I have a background in #zoology, #ecology and #wildlife #conservation. I studied the LHI stick insect for my masters at Unimelb, and then #primates (including #gibbon N. annamensis below) for my PhD at ANU!
