Community members posses a wealth of knowledge of and passion for documenting and protecting our native wildlife. Through the Listening for Nature program, we build the capacity and skills of environmental community groups, land managers and citizen scientists to support and lead efforts to build richer databases of wildlife records, monitor species in their local area, and share their collective skills and knowledge within their local regions.
Sounds of recovery
Enabling communities to lead bushfire recovery wildlife monitoring with ecoacoustics
Initiated in 2023, the Sounds of Recovery project will equip and train citizen scientists in East Gippsland to monitor the post-bushfire recovery of threatened wildlife using ecoacoustic methods. This novel approach will expand capacity to generate biodiversity knowledge within the community and deepen and enhance local nature connection and conservation action. Project partners include: East Gippsland Conservation Management Network Victorian National Parks Association.
