Our aim:
"To gather and disseminate information, research and build experience in order to protect, enhance and manage biodiversity in settled areas of SEQ"
...sign of the times?
Last Update: March 2006
We have continued to make great progress since our last update... recently we assisted in the organisation of the 2004 Southern Queensland Biodiversity Conference held at the University of Queensland (Gatton) campus in June.
We have some special reports that you might be interested in reading... PESTS! Yes, we will soon make available some reports that have been completed on some significant pests in the SEQ region. Again, go to the State of Play section for more details.
We have made some great inroads since the urban-wildlife forum (June 2003) resolution to form an advisory body to help manage the issues of wildlife in settled areas.
The organisational committee concluded the conference with a resolution - please take time to comment and provide your opinion to Darryl Jones via email.
Please have your comments finalised by the end of October. Many thanks.
We've made some more progress on the State of Play reports on a number of issues. Recently we completed the Aquatic Ecosystems, Wildlife Feeding, Flying Foxes and Glossy-black cockatoo reports. Please click on the State of Play link to find these new reports. We have also included a newly completed report for Brisbane City Council on Nature-Smart-Suburbs and makes for some interesting reading!
Finally, we have a good news story on the insect-diversity within Brisbane City, with a project completed by invertebrate researchers at the Queensland Museum, commissioned by Brisbane City Council.
