Event description
From Lightning Swamp to the River:
Linking spaces to save species
Presenter: Dr Jane Chambers, NatureLink Perth, Murdoch University.
Loss, fragmentation and degradation of habitat are recognised as one of six main threats to biodiversity.
But we know that creating NatureLinks between existing natural area saves species.
The team at NatureLink Perth uses sophisticated mapping techniques to identify the most cost-effective ecological linkages across the metropolitan area. Their new interactive platform enables environment groups, households, and individuals to engage with actual and potential NatureLinks in their own local areas.
This presentation will show you how to use interactive resources currently being developed by NatureLink Perth.
Morning tea will be provided, along with time for group discussions about how best to develop strategies for becoming actively involved in saving native species across all City of Bayswater suburbs.
Event Format:
Presentation followed by facilitated discussion of strategies groups might use to support the extension of NatureLinks across the City of Bayswater.
Venue: Embleton Room at Civic Centre
Time: 9.00 – 12 noon on Saturday the 15th April
Hosted by the Baigup Wetlands Interest Group thanks to a Better Bayswater Grant from the City of Bayswater under the auspices of Enviro House.
