Scenic Rim Wildlife Protection

Welcome to the Scenic Rim group of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland, established informally in 2009, awaiting incorporation as a formal branch (meeting will be held mid-2010 - let us know if you'd like to be involved).
The Scenic Rim is part of Australia's third most bio-diverse region, and with many habitats supporting a wonderful array of wildlife.
Our primary aims are essentially to:

Enhance the awareness of local residents and others of the wonderful diversity of wildlife in our region, the fascinating behaviours and ecological interactions they display, and the curious, appealing and simply beautiful and appearance of so many
Promote an understanding of the needs of wildlife in our region and what can be done by individuals, governments and businesses to ensure their survival well into the future.

Our major theme for the coming months will be Animals Have to Move, as conservation is not as simple as their travel needs often complicate effords at conservation management.

Non-members are welcome to our meetings and excursions. You may also like to join WPSQ and become a formal member of our branch. Let us know if you'd like to be on our mailing list for meetings and outings and general electronic discussion of wildlife and its conservation.

Let us know also if you would like to be involved in field surveys, as up-to-date accurate information is essential for effective conservation management needs, or if you have any content (wildlife observations, educational links ...) you would like to contribute to these pages.

With Christmas approaching, consider buying koala-related items from the Australian Koala Foundation, the proceeds of which are donated towards saving wild koalas. Visit the koala shop online or in person in Brisbane. Also consider the lovely 2010 batty calendar from Bat Care Brisbane.
