I am not much of a herper but am slowly working my way through those in my state. This is Hannah - Liopholis montana or Mountain Skink from the Wombat State Forest. A very nice skink indeed.

Salvage logging in Wombat Forest damages resilience, stripping ecosystems of the ability to adapt to climate change. Wardell-Johnson’s insights are clear: some forests heal best when left alone. Let’s stop calling exploitation “management” and start prioritising regeneration.

REPOST from Wombat Forestcare: #SALVAGELOGGING in the WOMBAT #FOREST!

"It is a disgrace on so many levels. This is happening on Osborne Road, Bullarto in the promised Wombat-Lerderderg National Park. It is impossible that this amount of timber removal of fallen trees is for reduction of fire risk"

They axed VicForests, but the bulldozers are still rolling. Wombat Forest is being trashed under the guise of “salvage”. This is public land, not a free-for-all. Stop the lies. Stop the logging. Legislate the park. #StopTheSalvage #WombatForest #VicGovFail
#StopTheSalvage #ParksNotProfits

XR and locals assembled today to mourn native forest
destruction at Wombat State Forest. Red Rebels assembled at sites where these trees once stood, grieving ghe loss of our majestic native forest trees and reflecting on their lives cut drastically short by State Government logging.

New #greaterglider research out, led by ARI’s talented Justin Cally. We looked into the effects of the large scale storm calamity in the wombat state forest in Victoria’s west on greater glider habitat:
