Mexican poppy (Argemone ochroleuca) is native to parts of northern and central America and is an invasive weed in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. CSIRO are working with PMMC and the WA Parks & Wildlife Service to produce a more comprehensive database for weeds of the Pilbara, including thousands more records of Mexican poppy. 📷: © Bruce Webber (@webber.photography) ... ... #poppy #botanising #plants #landcare #flora #weeds #nature #ecology #conservation #environment #fieldwork #research #science #CSIRO #waparkswildlife #PMMC #MardieStation #Pilbara #WesternAustralia #thisisWA #australia #discoveraustralia #exploreaustralia @waparkswildlife @csirogram

Did you know that orangutans have 97% of their DNA in common with humans? The Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) is critically endangered and threats from hunting, the pet trade and habitat loss from fires, logging and palm oil plantations are on the increase. We all can play a part to ensure that these great apes will be a part of forest ecosystems for generations to come. 📷: © Ru Somaweera (www.ruchira-somaweera.net) ... ... #orangutan #pongo #fauna #animals #wildlife #threat #humanwildlifeconflict #nature #ecology #biodiversity #conservation #environment #globalchange #natgeo #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #rainforest #tropical #sarawak #borneo #malaysia @sarawaktravel

The hump-nosed lizard (Lyriocephalus scutatus) is endemic to Sri Lanka and seems to be able to adapt to the impacts of land use change and forest fragmentation. We're providing advice to a new Rufford Foundation project looking at the impacts of global change on Sri Lanka's agamid lizards to improve conservation outcomes. 📷: © Ru Somaweera (www.ruchira-somaweera.net) ... ... #lizard #reptiles #herpetofauna #fauna #animals #wildlife #humanwildlifeconflict #nature #ecology #biodiversity #conservation #environment #globalchange #fieldwork #research #science #natgeo #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #rainforest #tropical #srilanka @ruffordgrants

We're using our nights to get to know the local wildlife while attending the ATBC conference in Sarawak, Malaysia. A great early sighting was one of the most iconic frogs in Borneo, Megophrys nastua. These frogs are ambush hunters and rely on camouflage to blend in with the forest floor. 📷: © Ru Somaweera (www.ruchira-somaweera.net) ... ... #hornedfrogs #megophrys #herpetofauna #fauna #animals #wildlife #nature #ecology #biodiversity #conservation #environment #natgeo #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #macro #macrophotography #rainforest #tropical #bakonationalpark #sarawak #borneo #atbc2018 #atbc

In the wet tropics of far north Queensland, we’re working with the University of Melbourne to understand how animals can shape the plant communities in which they live. The southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) eats hundreds of different rainforest fruits and then disperses their seeds to places where they have a better chance of survival. We’re looking to find out what impact this mutualism has on plant communities over time, and how these interactions are changing due to recent human influences. 📷: © Ru Somaweera (www.ruchira-somaweera.net) ... ... #cassowary #casuarius #mutualism #botanising #plants #wildlife #nature #ecology #biodiversity #conservation #environment #rainforest #fieldwork #research #science #CSIRO #universityofmelbourne #natgeo #naturephotography #unescoworldheritage #worldheritage #daintreerainforest #discoverthedaintree #PortDouglasDaintree #exploretnq #fnq #thisisqueensland #australia #discoveraustralia #exploreaustralia @csirogram @wettropicsqld @portdouglasdaintree

"Let us regard the forests as an inheritance, given to us by nature, not to be despoiled or devastated, but to be wisely used, reverently honoured and carefully maintained. Let us regard the forests as a gift, entrusted to any one of us only for transient care, to be surrendered to posterity as an unimpaired property, increased in riches and augmented in blessings, to pass as a sacred patrimony from generation to generation" - Baron Sir Ferdinand J. H. von Mueller (1879). ...

A male wreathed hornbill (Rhyticeros undulatus) in West Bali National Park, Indonesia. Many species of hornbills are threatened from habitat destruction (especially as they need old trees with hollows for nesting), hunting for food and traditional medicine, and collection for the pet industry. 📷: © Ru Somaweera (www.ruchira-somaweera.net) ... ... #hornbill #rhyticeros #wreathedhornbill #wildlife #bird #ecology #biodiversity #conservation #threat #hunting #conflict #humanwildlifeconflict #bali #westbalinationalpark #indonesia

Stinking passionflower overtopping native vegetation along Millstream at the Milstream Chichester National Park in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
