Themes of “eco grief, “climate anxiety” & “compassion fatigue” etc came up again and again at #ICCB2025. But always coupled with the need for hope, optimism, and ACTION. That’s the only viable path forward. Stoked to see this initiative brewing up in the Bay Area, will be supporting from Brisbane!🤙🍻

There’s a bunch of ways to connect with the SCB Conservation Marketing @scbconsmark.bsky.social working group, and today at #ICCB2025 we announced the first consmark conference since 2021 will be held online during the first week of December 2025! Stay tuned for more!

“Maybe she saw a cool bird” - legit reason at #ICCB2025 for a mate who’s missing from a meetup 🤷🪶

Legend! 🏆 @meg-shaw.bsky.social not only used memes in her #ICCB2025 talk but showed us the research supporting their effectiveness! Humour and beautifully-designed slides FTW!

#ICCB2025 @meg-shaw.bsky.social: Avoid using photos of ourselves interacting with (especially touching) wildlife b/c it makes others want to do it too & think wildlife would make a good pet & also that the species is less under threat. Plus 41% don’t read IG captions (ie researchers “explaining”)

Stoked to see so many #ICCB2025 delegates posting here! 🤙 Appreciate the opportunity to present in the Participatory & Citizen Science session on behalf of my team; I shared some takeaways on volunteer engagement & retention within a koala citizen science context. And some memes.

Thanks for sharing my takeaways! And oh wow I think this is my first official tag on Bluesky! 🥹 Glad to see you on here and excellent to meet at #ICCB2025!

Some people hear “optimism” and think: Unserious. Unrealistic. Out of touch. Let’s bust that myth. Optimism isn’t denial. It’s strategy. Here’s why we believe in hope with teeth. 🧵 #OceanHoptimism #HopeToAction #NotDelusionalJustDetermined

🧵 Why does some content go viral? A dance. A jingle. A sea shanty. “Baby Shark” has 14 billion views. What if we used that same energy, not for a cartoon shark, but for real people keeping oceans alive? Let’s unpack. #OceanHoptimism #MakeCareViral

Happy to see things have finally (for the most part) transitioned to #WorldOceanDay i.e. #DropTheS 🌏🏆 Had forgotten my tweets about that ported over here 👀 I made it a “tradition” to post something annoying every year complaining on one platform or other, going back > 10 years!😂🤷 World OCEAN Day FTW

👋 Excited for #ICCB2025 next week, right here in Brisbane! Thinking now’s the time to finally start using this app, hoping to connect with the conservation social science community & especially the @scbconsmark.bsky.social crew - who will be there? Are there any consmark meetups planned?

Social media can both help & harm wildlife. Misused images fuel illegal trade & false perceptions, but they can also drive change. Join us at @iccb2025.bsky.social to co-create guidelines for ethical imagery that supports conservation, not harm. Register today: conbio.org/mini-sites/i...

I transferred my tweets to Bluesky mainly to preserve this thread on Eunice Foote I’d started in 2018. I think some made it through but it got fragmented. 😐 I’ll make an attempt to find them all and post them below 🤷 #EuniceFoote

Always appreciate the “theory to practice” theme, and @TaylorWillmott @rundlesr & Jess Harris brought it to #ANZMAC2022! Wish I could have played “theory bingo” in person along with you guys!

what really made my night after the Brisbane Koala Forum was meeting self-proclaimed “Crazy Koala Lady” Denise-who brought some scats for Carney-and getting to see the passion & enthusiasm as they talked koalas and swapped photos! 🐨❤️

Liz Foote @footesea.bsky.social · 17/11/2022
Wrapped up the Brisbane Koala Forum with a Q&A and panel discussion. What a great event, thanks to all the fantastic speakers for sharing the amazing work you do to protect koalas! 🤙🐨❤️ @SMGriffith1

Liz Foote @footesea.bsky.social · 17/11/2022
Great tips from QLD Dept of Environment & Science on how to help 🐨🐨; it’s especially important to participate in public consultation opportunities and have your say

Liz Foote @footesea.bsky.social · 17/11/2022
Enjoyed hearing several compelling stories of Queensland Koala Crusaders’ efforts to work with private landholders to take action and establish more 🐨 habitat & create movement corridors on their land

Liz Foote @footesea.bsky.social · 17/11/2022
Jun Zhou, Assoc. Prof @Griffith_Uni shared the cool camera trap tech that’s being used (along with satellites, AI, & volunteer support) to reduce vehicle strikes of koalas via smart road signage (also super cool!)

Liz Foote @footesea.bsky.social · 17/11/2022
At the Brisbane Koala Forum we learned of numerous strategies being supported by Brisbane City Council to help 🐨 such as land bridges, underpasses, fencing, and driver awareness programs, aka WMS or “Wildlife Movement Solutions” (gotta have an acronym!)

Liz Foote @footesea.bsky.social · 17/11/2022
Sobering stats from QLD RSPCA; #1 reason for admission is disease and #2 is vehicle strikes; but koalas admitted with all types of injuries together outnumber those with disease. Sad outcomes with 54% euthanised vs 29% released. There are ways to help however! 🐨❤️

Liz Foote @footesea.bsky.social · 17/11/2022
Before @Griffith_Uni Assoc. Prof Carny Matheson shared about an innovative environmental education & citizen science program to make koala family trees by mailing in scats (yes you can!), he showed us two koalas across the street from where we’re holding the Brisbane Koala Forum!

Liz Foote @footesea.bsky.social · 17/11/2022
apparently even many locals don’t realise koalas are amongst us in urban areas; “Just because you haven’t seen one doesn’t mean it’s not there.”

Before I moved to Australia and started working @SMGriffith1 on a koala threat mitigation project I didn’t realise they were commonly found in urban areas! About to kick off the Brisbane Koala Forum and there happens to be 🐨🐨 right across from the venue! #WildlifeWatcherAU
