Bringing back the endangered bridled nail-tailed wallaby at Taunton National Park (Scientific) through effective predator control
Bringing back the endangered bridled nail-tailed wallaby at Taunton National Park (Scientific) through effective predator control
The study found that native species conservation in fox-free environments is possible without the need for predator-proof fences and the ongoing maintenance costs.
Protecting and enhancing high value fish habitats across central Queensland’s coast
Protecting and enhancing high value fish habitats across central Queensland’s coast
The ‘Protecting and enhancing high value fish habitats across central Queensland’s coast’ project worked to restore seagrass communities (critical fish habitat) that are declining due to habitat loss and destruction.
Central Queensland’s Sustainability Strategy 2023
Central Queensland's Sustainability Strategy 2023
Established four decades ago, the CQSS2030 is a cornerstone strategy for Fitzroy Basin Association and the broader central Queensland region – informing strategic and on-ground action. The strategy reflects the interests and priorities of CQ people and is a powerful tool and opportunity to influence how regional natural assets are managed.
Saving the Critically Endangered Kroombit Tinkerfrog
Saving the Critically Endangered Kroombit Tinkerfrog
The project focused on the release of genetically diverse, captive-bred frogs into the wild to supplement existing populations and repopulate sites where Kroombit tinkerfrogs have gone locally extinct. There was also a strong focus on habitat and genetic improvement to increase the frogs’ survival odds upon release and protect existing frogs at Kroombit Tops.
Team Turtle Central Queensland
TTCQ Snapshot
Team Turtle Central Queensland (TTCQ) was established almost a decade ago to train a network of community volunteers in turtle monitoring. TTCQ is a citizen scientist program with the aim of collecting and collating quality data for submission to the Department of Environment and Science (DES) managed Queensland Turtle Conversation Program database and local authorities which informs and influences coastal management and threat mitigation for marine turtle species
Koalas in CQ Factsheet
Koalas in CQ Factsheet
In 2022 the koala was listed as an endangered species in Queensland. The Clarke-Connors Range, located in central Queensland, contains one of the most significant koala populations in regional Queensland. Koalas are often sighted in this area (including female koalas with babies which indicates a healthy population). To keep this population healthy Fitzroy Basin Association (FBA) is asking central Queenslanders to keep their eyes out for koalas and report any sightings.
