The Sarota Butterfly! 🎨
A gem of a genus only found in the rainforests of the neotropics! 🌳🦋

Absolutely incredible butterfly! 🦋🥰
I wish everyone in power cared about how incredibly biodiverse and important tropical rainforests are, then they would be protected better! 🥹🌳

The malleefowl uses a compost pile instead of a nest
Heat from decaying plants incubates the eggs, while the male spends months regulating the mound's temperature.

100000%, Australians have NO IDEA how lucky they are to get absolutely enormous beautiful parrots like Red-tailed Black Cockatoos just found in suburbia if enough food trees are planted! 🖤❤️

On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we’re reminded that #biodiversity is one of our strongest natural defences against #climatechange. 🌏🌱 The healthier, more connected and more resilient our ecosystems are, the more effective they are at storing store carbon, adapting to climate pressures and sustaining the complex webs of life found across our planet. We protect and contribute to the management of over 22 million hectares of land around Australia and support thousands native species which have been recorded on our reserves to date. And that’s something worth holding onto this World Environment Day. 💚

WAKE UP Western Australia - NO more land clearing!! 🚜❌
Your diversity IS comparable to the Amazon! 🪲🌸
I can’t believe in 2026 we still have people that don’t understand how incredibly biodiverse, unique and threatened the flora and fauna of Western Australia is - especially a member of council! 😤
There is almost no where else on earth so diverse with endemic species that you can drive an hour and pass through the habitat of half a dozen different Peacock Spiders and dozens of orchid species! ☀️
I don’t care if it’s only one tree or one bush, we have lost SO much bushland in the south-west and we are guaranteed to have caused so many EXTINCTIONS already of species that never got the chance to be documented! ‼️
When will we understand that constant destruction of these habitats is not progress? We are so lucky to live in the most biodiverse country on earth and we need to start PRIORITISING the little remaining but incredible habitats of the south-west! 👊

In WA’s mid-west, Red-tailed Black Cockatoos sweep across the skies of Wanarra - a vast landscape on the Traditional Country of the Widi Mob and Badimia people of the Yamatji Nation. 🌅
When the rains come, salt lakes fill, wildflowers bloom and birdlife gathers in extraordinary numbers.
For years, we’ve been wanting to purchase and protect Wanarra Reserve, now we have the chance. Read more here 👉 bit.ly/2Oq0m3P

Also doesn’t help that Australia is still destroying an insane amount of endangered species habitat every year! 😡
Invasive species are doing huge damage to our continent's incredible biodiversity. Cats alone kill over two billion reptiles, birds and mammals per year. Add in foxes, cane toads, carp and other invasives, and native species are under massive pressure.
We have the resources and tools to protect native species - all that's missing is political will and investment.
