Australian Wildlife Education: Wild Chats

Today's Wild Chat is with Angus Emmot a grazier, naturalist and owner of Noonbah Station found within the Longreach Shire, Queensland Australia. Angus is well renowned for being the 3rd generation on Noonbah station and also for his naturalist work and amazing photography. Angus Works for the Queensland Museum and is not short of a project as he stands strong with his voice for topics such as Dingo management, farming and the latest with Fracking within the Lake Eyre Basin and Channel country. Angus talks in depth about Australia's land apex predator, the Dingo, and how they are now classed as a Wild Dog and therefore targeted with poison in order to supposedly protect our farmers' livestock. Listen to the following Wild Chat to find out how removing the Dingo, an apex predator, can have devastating effects on the biodiversity of the habitats and ecosystems and what Angus did on his grazing land that has worked!

Today's Wild Chat is with John Creighton from Wombat Care Bundanoon and we talk more about Australia’s Wombats and the current issue of Mange. After the bush fires a lot of Australian animals faced devastating times with lack of food and shelter and of course a lot had been burned.  Wombats may have been sheltered in their burrows however the aftermath for them also was devastating with no food at all left for these herbivores. John and his team at wombat Care, along with so many other organistions and volunteers helped our Wildlife day in and day out, however what John was seeing is another massive problem for our Wombats and that is with Mange. John explains very well in the following podcast what mange is and the current problems Wombats face. I love John’s outlook, creative ways of treating the wombats and how optimistic he is in educating the community to work together with our wildlife.
