S2E2 One Animal at a Time: Bats - flying friends or furry foe?
<p>Bats are a keystone species on the east coast of Australia, with a critical role to play in maintaining our diverse flora, and keeping our forests healthy. They’re also misunderstood and feared as carriers and spreaders of zoonotic disease. Bats are profoundly vulnerable to increasing extreme weather events, dying in their tens of thousands in each of our ever intensifying heatwaves.</p> <p>In this episode we visit Kukundi Wildlife Shelter to understand more about the value of bats in nature, and hear some successful rehabilitation stories.</p> <p>We hear from:</p> <ul> <li>Vanessa Barrett, Flying fox carer and science communicator.</li> <li>Susan Smith - Sydney Wildlife volunteer</li> <li>Dianne Jenner - Volunteer coordinator</li> <li>Jodi Lewis - Sydney Wildlife volunteer</li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

S2E4 One Animal at a Time: Raptors - recovery and release from higher ground
<p>In this episode we visit Higher Ground Raptor Centre - the most significant raptor rehabilitation centre in Australia. Peggy McDonald is a national treasure and she talks intimately about her home and work.</p> <p>In Australia, 13 of our 35 species of raptors (birds of prey) are listed as threatened, with every individual holding high importance to the survival of their species. Data collected and analysed by NSW NPWS over the past decade show that the work of raptor rescuers and rehabilitators is vital to the conservation of raptors in Australia. Unfortunately, raptors are significantly affected by human development, as well as changes in climate.</p> <p>In this episode we also talk about the NSW Volunteer Wildlife Rehabilitation Strategy from NPWS, and how critical it is that wildlife carers keep abreast of the latest rehabilitation techniques here, and overseas.</p> <p> </p> <p>We hear from:</p> <ul> <li>Peggy McDonald, wildlife carer for 40 years and founder of Higher Ground Raptor Centre</li> <li>NPWS project officer and veterinarian Dr Aditi Sriram from the Biodiversity and Wildlife team</li> </ul> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
