Conservation agreement landholders trained to use wildlife cameras and audio recorders as part of a NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust pilot project.
"Across eight regions in NSW, more than 1.4 million camera images and 15,000 hours of audio recordings were logged throughout the 12-month pilot, which began in August 2024."
"We got so many threatened species, including the sooty owl, the powerful owl, heaps of different microbats, including threatened microbat species...See[ing] what the species are doing over seasons and time will be really useful."
"The second stage of the project began in March this year and will wrap up in March 2026."
