Biodiversity Bites - Saving the Song of the Regent Honeyeater
The regent honeyeater (Anthochaera phrygia) is a critically endangered species of bird that has lost about 90% of their preferred woodland habitats to farmland. There are now less than 350 birds left. Their decline has had a significant negative impact on the greater ecosystem. People are going to great lengths to help protect them, but it’s not easy. Finding these elusive birds is like finding a needle in a haystack - not only because of the small number but also because they are becoming ‘masters of disguise’. Tune in to learn more about regent honeyeaters, why they are so endangered and what’s being done to help bring them back from the brink.

Biodiversity Bites - The Butterfly Effect - Purple Copper Butterfly
One of Australia’s rarest butterfly species is taking the spotlight in this episode. Sadly, it is endangered partly due to its Goldilocks tendencies - it needs everything to be just right to survive. The purple copper butterfly (Paralucia spinifera) is a small butterfly with a thick body, and a wingspan of only 20-30 millimetres. Join us as we learn about this intriguing species and how its survival depends on a particular food source and a mutualistic relationship with an unassuming ally. We must help protect this unique species, for butterflies are not only beautiful, but they play a crucial role in our environment and are an overall indicator of a healthy ecosystem. Discover how to get involved in the Counting Coppers citizen science project. For more information: Purple Copper Butterfly.

Ep 16: Conservation Journey - Innovation at Taronga Zoo and beyond
Tackling environmental problems such as biodiversity loss and climate change requires an open mind, lateral thinking and innovative solutions. It's not always easy. It can be challenging to know how to take your first step towards incorporating biodiversity-friendly practices in your business or everyday life. This episode delves into how organisations, both well-established and fledgling, use innovative thinking on their conservation journeys. Join us as we travel to Taronga Zoo and see the transformation it has gone through from purely a tourist-based enterprise to a conservation platform. We’ll learn about their world-first accelerator program, HATCH, which supports ecopreneurs in their conservation journey and hear from one of the inspiring graduates of the program.

Biodiversity Bites - Beach-nesting birds: Share the Shore
A 2021 study estimates that there are about six birds for every human on the planet. Despite this statistic, in summer, millions of people flock to the beaches, far outnumbering the tiny amount of beach-nesting birds also using this space. There are over 600 bird species in NSW, but only six beach-nesting species, including the Hooded Plover. Join us in this short episode to learn about this delightful bird. Only a handful of Hooded Plovers are left in NSW, listed as Critically Endangered under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995. Find out why Hoodies are more than just pretty plumage. Learn about the crucial roles they play in our ecosystem, the threats they face and, as a beachgoer, what simple things you can do to help protect them. Link to Share the Shore.

Biodiversity Bites - Batting for Bats
One of the most widely misunderstood creatures, bats, unfortunately, have a bad rap. This episode will dispel some common misconceptions about bats.

Threats for these bats include habitat loss, human activities and climate change.

Ep 15: Sustainability in Supply Chains to protect biodiversity
Sustainability is a buzzword and a concept that has been around for decades. Businesses have recognised the importance of running their enterprise with minimal negative impact on the environment, community and society. In this episode, we will dive right into where many of these processes start - at the sourcing end of supply chains. Supply chains are inherently complex, creating challenges in identifying, measuring and tracking the sustainability of the process. However, some new market-led, science-based global frameworks are enabling us to get closer to achieving ambitious sustainability goals - and nature is guiding the decision-making. Join us in this episode as we delve into how one organisation helps businesses to green their supply chain and identify, assess and manage nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities.

Biodiversity Bites - Slug Sleuth - The Giant Pink Slug
It’s big. It's slimy. It’s fluorescent pink. Join us as we slip into the world of a Giant Pink Slug. Slugs don't have a great reputation and are known by many as unwanted garden guests. But they are misunderstood molluscs, which play a crucial role in our environment. In this episode, we’ll explore the benefits of slugs and learn about the 'poster boy' slug of them all - the Giant Pink Slug. With its flamboyant colouring, these unique slugs were identified as part of a threatened ecological community that includes 11 species of snail in 2013. Tune in to discover where these slugs live and what projects are helping to protect them. Now that we have finally found these quirky slugs, we certainly don't want to lose them.
