Description

In this workshop you will be learning about the plight of the Glossy Black Cockatoo (GBC) and how to identify and locate breeding pairs.

You will also learn about how the Bunyas to Border project is aiming to help them persist in the landscape.

There is little information around nesting GBCs on the mainland, this project will look to find preferences in artificial hollows and teach local landholders on finding elusive nesting sites.

There will be additional trainings for Landcare members to participate in this process.

Bunyas to Border, the first of the Koala Climate Corridors, is being developed in the Lockyer region along the western ‘horn’ of the Greater Border Ranges, which stretches from the Main Range to the Bunya Mountains. A landscape rich in biodiversity, lush rainforest and unique volcanic landforms that also supports a growing population of people.

GER’s regional partner, the Lockyer Uplands Catchment Inc (LUCI), is working with local landholders and communities across Bunyas to Border to:

Plant trees and shrubs to create and reconnect habitat for koalas, brush-tailed rock wallabies, grey-headed flying foxes and other local wildlife.
Install supplementary wildlife drinking stations to provide wildlife with a reliable source of water during future fires and floods.
Pop-up new age nest boxes to replace lost tree hollow homes for greater gliders and glossy black-cockatoos.
Build the capacity and resilience of local landholders.

Koala Climate Corridors, is a project spearheaded by the Great Eastern Ranges and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) to create biodiverse climate corridors to help wildlife adapt and communities build resilience to the impacts of climate change.

Through the project, GER’s regional partners are working with local groups and landholders to reconnect and regenerate habitats to help koalas, rainbow bee-eaters and other wildlife adapt to climate change by providing them with safe spaces to move as conditions and food sources shift.
