Did you know QTFN manages an island in the Great Barrier Reef to secure safe nesting areas for sea turtles?? 🐢🐢🐢
Avoid Island is one of the largest nesting grounds for the Vulnerable Flatback Turtle (𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒔) in Australia, and is the only major rookery not directly impacted by predators or industrialization. Unlike other species of sea turtle, the Flatback only nests on Australian beaches, despite foraging as far as Papua New Guinea! 🌊🌏🌴

As Australians #StayHome and reduce our travel, nature may find its way into a newly "unoccupied niche" that we have temporarily abandoned. 🌱 We can take note of how nature responds in our absence, and incorporate this knowledge into a "renaturing plan" to help build a healthy balance between humans and wildlife in urbanised areas. 🌿🏠🌳
