The mass drowning of emperor penguin chicks as sea ice is melted by the climate crisis has led the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to declare the species officially in danger of extinction.

Emperor penguins rely on ‘fast’ ice – sea ice that is firmly attached to the coast – for nine months of the year. It is where their fluffy chicks are hatched and grow until they have their waterproof feathers. Adults moult every year and also need a safe haven while their swimming feathers regrow.

However, global heating has led to record lows in Antarctic sea ice since 2016. When sea ice breaks up early, entire colonies can fall into the ocean, leaving the chicks to drown. Even if some penguins escape the water, they are soaked and will freeze to death.

PLEASE SHARE

While many entanglements come from fishing gear, it isn't the only type of entanglement we see. Everyday items can cause serious injuries or worse for wildlife when they enter the environment.

How can you help?

✂️ Make sure to cut all rings and elastic bands before putting them in the bin.
🗑️ Make sure rubbish is secured in a bin. (If it doesn't have a lid don't use it)
🏠 No bin around? Take your rubbish home with you.
🪝 Make sure all fishing gear is disposed of and not left on the beach, jetty or marina.
🧤 If you see rubbish that is safe to pick up please put it in the bin.

Together we can end entanglements and save wild lives.

This is sad news to hear

BREAKING: The deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu has been confirmed in elephant seals on Australia’s remote Heard Island, where scientists recently found an unusually high number of deaths.

Researchers will return to the island in late December to run more tests, check wildlife health and understand how the virus is affecting seals and seabirds.

This beautiful Brown Goshawk was found with its talons tangled in illegal household fruit tree netting. Thankfully, it was assessed as uninjured and safely released back into the wild - but not all wildlife is so lucky.

Does your household fruit netting pass the “poke test”? Check if your finger easily fits through the mesh.

👉 If it doesn’t, then you’re good to go!

👉 If it does, then it's most likely illegal, and you risk entangling and seriously harming wildlife.

Safe, legal fruit netting has a maximum mesh size of 5x5mm.

By choosing a legal netting option, you're helping protect our precious native species while still enjoying your harvest. 🍎

Let’s keep our backyards safe for all creatures.

The Conservation Regulator, RSPCA Victoria, Zoos Victoria, Wildlife Victoria and Animal Welfare Victoria want Victorians to make sure their household fruit netting is legal.

To help households keep wildlife safe, the Conservation Regulator and five local councils (Brimbank, Manningham, Merri-bek, Yarra and Boroondara) are piloting a free net swap program for residential household fruit growers, partnering with UPPAREL to recycle collected netting.

For more information go to https://rspcavic.org/grey-headed-flying-fox-spring-netting.

If you see someone selling or using illegal fruit netting report it to the Conservation Regulator, via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
