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

"Ferocious love" of the places & things we care about @drphilmccormack.bsky.social frames her work in environmental law and climate justice through her love of nature, which we share @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2025 🌏

Fungi, algae and flowers might be different kingdoms but Phillipa doesn’t want to hear it!! #ESA2025

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.

Koala was “just having a jump” 😅 #ESA2025

Is this a peer-reviewed study? 😅 Dr James Brazill-Boast in his presentation on private land conservation on day 4 of #ESA2025

After 40 years of extinct status in South Australia, the Murray crayfish is back! Darren Willis speaks about Glen, who shared the cultural significance of the project to First Nations peoples in the area, on day 2 of #ESA2025. #southaustralia #crayfish #ecology

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. #ESA2025

Great work Russell, aka @urbanfrogger.bsky.social let's build clean urban ponds in cities for frogs and other critters #esa2025

Bringing together science and stories at the launch of Ecology Matters at #ESA2025 this week 🌿 We celebrated with @ecolsocaus.bsky.social President Perpetua (Pep) Turner, author Grace Heathcote and contributors Stephen van Leeuwen, Saskia Gerhardy & Heather Neilly, who signed copies for attendees.

Congrats to @predator-smarts.bsky.social on winning the @ecolsocaus.bsky.social Next Gen award! #ESA2025 🌏 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!

The “recipe for terrified foxes” according to Dr Eamonn Wooster, ESA Next Generation Award Winner in his presentation on predator-prey interactions 🦊😅 #ESA2025

What a treat @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2024 to hear from @lilyvaneeden.bsky.social and @megcevans.bsky.social about pathways to impact for your research, especially how to inform policy. 🌏 - get to know how the government works, the mess and mechanisms!

Some fantastic tips on engaging with the media coming from hugely experienced @biodivcouncil.bsky.social Jaana Dielenberg and Claire Peddie @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2025 - short, clear and fun pitches - prep photos/videos ahead of time - say yes to radio & tv to expand your audience
