Saving the Endangered Greater Glider of the Upper Burnett

Saving the Greater Glider project is a grassroots community education and habitat protection/restoration and enhancement project aimed at assisting the recovery of the species in the Upper Burnett region.

Greater Glider populations have decreased by 80% over the last 20 years and the quality of remaining private forestry habitats are now more important than ever.

Through a series of workshops, the installation of living hollows & nesting-boxes, habitation monitoring & the development + distribution of educational-resources this project will assist the long-term recovery of Greater Gliders within the Upper Burnett catchment.

Activities to improve knowledge, capacity & capability of the community include:
• Installation of living/carved hollows + natural timber nesting boxes
• Den Habitation Monitoring (wildlife cameras, thermal imaging + spotlighting)
• Development & sourcing of regionally relevant educational resources (incl. ecology, habitat, nesting-box design & installation)
• Workshops (incl. educational resource topics listed above + natural capital, environmental accounting, conservation co-benefits to agriculture, agri-ecology & biodiversity topics).
• Landholder & community education campaigns
