Discovering the distribition of Thaumatoperla

The Thaumatoperla species are a unique and iconic group found in the Victorian alpine areas of Australia. We currently have funding as part of the Australian Government’s Wildlife and Habitat Bushfire Recovery program to look at the impact of the devastating 2019/20 bushfires on the Thaumatoperla species. This funding will enable us to map the distribution of the three Thaumatoperla species and identify priority actions needed to support the recovery and conservation of these species. In order to successfully do this we need as many eyes on the ground as possible so if you are in the Victorian alpine areas during the summer/autumn period, keep an eye out!
