    The ‘save the bees’ movement has gained remarkable traction lately, encouraging people to think beyond the European honey bee. We talk with Dr Kit Prendergast about Australia’s 1700 species of native bees and how we can help expand bee-friendly gardens to include ground-nesting species.

    Feral cats top the list of the most destructive species in Australia, costing the economy a huge $18.5 billion over the last 60 years in damage and population control measures. Today we speak with the Program Leader for Western Australia’s Invasive Animals Program, Corrin Everitt, about new technology and community-based action, backed by a nation first strategy, that are helping control feral cats to protect our precious wildlife and biodiversity.

  • LANDSCOPE Tackling toads
    Cane toads crossed the border into Western Australia in 2009. They  are toxic at every stage of their life - from eggs to tadpoles to toads - and they have been linked to the decline of several native predator species. We speak with Clare Forward, WA’s Cane Toad Strategy Program Coordinator responsible for planning and delivering actions in the cane toad strategy to make sure Western Australia is doing everything it can to tackle this toad problem.
