Creating Turtle Conservation Ambassadors

As part of the Mallee CMA citizen science program Mallee CMA, EnviroEdu and Broad-shelled turtles (Clay and Fuzzball) were joined by almost 50 community members on a sunny April morning at Kings Billabong.

Participants enjoyed a hands-on interactive presentation where they learned about the three species of turtle found in the Mallee area, their conservation status, habitat, breeding and nesting behaviours and threats to survival.

Community members were shown how to help protect these amazing animals and how the TurtleSat app is used to record turtle sightings, nest discoveries and predation rates across Australia.

Participants enjoyed a stroll along the Kings Billabong walking tracks where they were able to locate active as well as disturbed turtle nests. Participants were lucky enough to find a nest that had recently hatched. This was evident by the clear hole, turtle shells.

Mallee CMA would like to thank the community for supporting this event, and acknowledge the invaluable role our Citizen Scientists play in collecting important natural resource data.
