Chapter 2: Lost for 100 yrs then found #GilbertsPotoroo was rediscovered at #TwoPeoplesBay on Dec 1st 1994, having last been recorded in the 1870s & thought extinct since 1909. Much has happened in the past nearly 31 years, a lot of ups & downs & hard work by many people, but it’s still hanging on

Incredibly privileged to have been part of the #GilbertsPotoroo journey almost since the beginning (April 1996) and to be sharing my life with @lwhisson.bsky.social who actually was there on “rediscovery day”. #LostAndFound #LazarusSpecies #CriticallyEndangered #ThreatenedSpecies

Its digging helps aerate soil, improves water penetration & it spreads fungi spores that are critical for vegetation health.

I wonder what the Threatened Species Commissioner makes of the Environment Minister being taken to court (again), this time because it's alleged they're in breach of environmental law. We'll never know, because the TSC is toothless and more concerned with cakes. theconversation.com/environment-...
