#JaneGoodall introducing @AustralianStory just said, and I quote, “Australia is the continent with the worst #extinction rates”. How did I not know that? Why are we not talking about that? What are we the best at?

“We're going to bring this desert back to life in its full glory.” The Wild Deserts ecologists are creating “exclosures” rather than “enclosures” where fenced areas are keeping predators out to allow native species to thrive #AustralianStory

If you're looking for some *hope* in your news cycle, tonight's #AustralianStory has it in spades. Australia has the worst extinction rate in the world. But this is what is happening in the desert to change all that 'Wild Deserts' airs tonight on @ABCTV abc.net.au/news/2022-04-11/i…

Well done, @AustralianStory: it looks like tonight's episode will be a much-needed palate cleanser from the relentlessness of the election coverage.
Looking forward to it.

The Fort Grey homestead is 30km from the closest neighbour, 12 hours' drive from the shops and a 300km roundtrip to playground!
It's here that Reece Pedler and Rebecca West are helping bring back locally extinct wildlife #WildDeserts @UNSW ab.co/3rgwjOI

Feeling grateful to be at a stage in my career where I can make things like this happen. @ABCaustralia has some exceptional women shooting unique stories in the regions and @erinsemmler is one of them 💪📹💃🏻 Thanks to Marc and @AustralianStory for saying YES
This is Marc. He’s an exceptional camera operator who let me follow him for 10 days across two states and one territory filming for @AustralianStory. It was part of a pilot project organised by @hornseyj, a fellow legendary cammo who is now a quality advisor. (1/3)
