Random Delightful Fact of the Day - Eastern quolls go grey as they get older! A juvenile (~6 mths old) on the L, & a 4 yr old on the R (Worth noting that 4 yrs old is oooooold for an eastern quoll)

Afternoon light shines through the #forest canopy in the Great Otway National Park, in Victoria on the lands of the Eastern Maar and Wadawurrung people. Did you know that the park was only established in 2005, after years of community campaigning? Photograph: Aaron Poole #Otways #australia #nature

Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre could reach full capacity for the first time since 1974, as floodwaters move through inland creeks and rivers toward the middle of the continent. Keeping the Channel Country floodplains free from new #OilandGas ensures these rivers can flow freely—and #nature can flourish.

Forest destruction shouldn’t be part of your next DIY project. Bunnings claims to source timber responsibly, but it’s not telling the truth about where some of these products come from. Learn more in this video with our Corporate Advocacy Manager, Adele Chasson. #Bunnings #forests #australia

Last week, the national offshore oil and gas regulator rejected plans for major seismic blasting in the Otway Basin, near Warrnambool, Victoria. This is a huge win for coastal communities that have been fighting gas expansion for years. #oilandgas #seismicblasting #auspol

It’s not barking up the wrong tree to say #forests play a key role in defending against climate change. 🕵️ Scientists at Southern Cross & Monash unis took a closer look. In the bark of trees in northern NSW, they found a clue to how trees are fighting the #climate crisis: tiny, gas-eating microbes.

A new report from @wilderness.org.au documents decades of financial and environmental mismanagement by the Tasmanian Government and the native forest logging industry. Brutal read. #politas

Australians want real climate action, not more fossil fuels. Yet in the final weeks of 2025, the Albanese Labor government announced it was opening a huge area of ocean off Victoria and Lutruwita / Tasmania for new oil and gas exploration. #auspol #oilandgas #fossilfuels #climate

Is Bunnings stocking forest destruction on its shelves? The answer is: yes. We’ve filed a complaint to ask the ACCC, Australia’s consumer watchdog, to investigate Bunnings for #greenwashing.

Our friends at the Martuwarra Fitzroy River Council are calling on the WA government to reject the Valhalla fracking proposal in the #Kimberley, and uphold its duty of care to do no harm. 👉 Read more: martuwarra.org/blog/DoNoHarm #westernaustralia #fracking #fossilfuels #BlackMountain

Skies across southern Australia lit up with a spectacular show of the #auroraaustralis last night. Moments like these remind us of the value of getting out into nature, looking up, and protecting the night skies that connect us. 💚✨ Image: Bunurong Country, Genevieve French / Wilderness Society

In the final weeks of 2025, the Albanese government quietly opened up a huge area of ocean off Victoria & Lutruwita / Tasmania to new #oilandgas exploration. 💥 Seismic blasting & gas drilling here would threaten marine life, coastal communities, the climate & a World Heritage coastline. #auspol

Incredible alpine flora and an #auroraaustralis at sunrise? Lutruwita / #Tasmania is truly one of the best places to experience the wonder of nature. Thanks to Benjamin Alldridge for this stunning image with us. 💚 #wildoz #scoparia

🚨 #BREAKING: Shocking new revelations suggest mining giant Alcoa could be in breach of its mining exemption conditions in WA’s Northern Jarrah Forest, after a significant endangered black cockatoo nesting tree was found to have been impacted by mining activity. #westernaustralia #wildoz

A Mithaka cultural landscape in the Channel Country is now on the National Heritage List, recognising thousands of years of living culture. Home to endemic species and some of the last free-flowing desert rivers on Earth, this Country has long been protected by Mithaka Traditional Owners.

🚨 Yesterday the Albanese government opened a huge new area of Victoria and Lutruwita / Tasmania’s oceans to seismic blasting & gas drilling—right next to World Heritage coastline. 🔥 New gas is a climate disaster. Next to World Heritage coastline it’s a double disaster. #oilandgas #auspol #climate

We’re going to court over plans to log native forest in the Huon Valley in Lutruwita / #Tasmania, one of the last remaining breeding strongholds for critically endangered swift parrots. Hear more about the case from Tasmanian Campaigns Manager, Alice Hardinge. #swiftparrot #wildoz

📢 After decades of pressure to fix Australia’s ailing nature laws, the Albanese government has struck a deal with the Greens to amend them. The reforms will increase scrutiny of logging & land clearing—and finally remove key #deforestation loopholes. #auspol 👉 www.wilderness.org.au/nature-law-news

#Forests of any age are vital for wildlife and #climate, but they’re not interchangeable. Destroying a mature, carbon-dense forest can’t be offset by vegetation thickening elsewhere, and releases up to 120× more emissions per hectare than newer forests can absorb. 🌳🌏

Just 40 minutes from Nipaluna/Hobart, you'll find the spectacular #forests of the Huon Valley. 🌳🍃These forests store immense amounts of carbon & support some of Australia’s most iconic species. But they're under threat. 👉 More: wilderness.org.au/iconic-places/tasmanias-forests #tasmania #wildoz

We have successfully settled our court case with the Environment Minister—and he has admitted he failed to do his job to protect threatened species! 🙌 This is an incredible win for threatened species. Hear our campaigner Sam Szoke-Burke give an update on what this means for wildlife. #wildoz

Today is a win for threatened wildlife across Australia 🙌 While it is deeply frustrating that we had to resort to the courts to get the government to do its job, this outcome confirms the expectations on the Albanese government to start prioritising nature & helping Aussie wildlife beat extinction.

📣 #BREAKING: We’ve settled our case against Australia’s Environment Minister! Backed by our supporters & represented by Environmental Justice Australia, we took bold legal action to fight for threatened species, and won! #auspol #wildoz

Queensland’s plants and animals are in crisis. 🚨 The new State of Environment Report reveals 114 more threatened species were added in the last 4 years. Both the #Queensland government and the Wilderness Society confirm the biggest threat: deforestation for pasture. #wildoz

#Lutruwita / #Tasmania is home to true forest giants, Eucalyptus regnans that tower up to 100m tall & huon pines that have lived for thousands of years. 🌳 These are some of the most carbon-dense #forests on Earth, quietly storing vast amounts of carbon & helping stabilise the climate. #botany
