A great article highlighting the benefits of pest eradications for improving the conservation status of birds. "Nine of these successes are seabirds nesting on Macquarie Island." #macquarieisland #conservation
🪶The good news: 25 Australian birds are now at less risk of extinction. The bad news: 29 are gone and 4 more might be. Conservation researchers John Woinarski, Stephen Garnett & Sarah Legge (@CDUni, @ANUmedia) report. #cassowary #wedgetailedeagle
