Experience Landcare, Through Your Lens

Every day across Australia, people are involved in landcare activities. From caring for bushland, waterways and coastlines, to restoring landscapes, learning on Country with First Nations organisations, to improving
biodiversity and managing sustainable agriculture practices, every landcare experience tells a story.

To celebrate these experiences, Landcare Australia has launched Landcare Through the Lens, a national photo campaign inviting people to share what landcare means to them, where they live. Submissions are now open and close on 31 August 2026.

Get involved and help showcase the diversity of landcare across Australia. Submit your photo here: https://form.jotform.com/251327771775869.

😢 Sharing this important update from BirdLife Australia - a concerning development for our native birdlife.
🐦 Although these inital detections are over in WA, please stay alert, avoid contact with sick or dead birds. And please report any sightings.

Statement from BirdLife Australia re suspected case of H5 bird flu reported from southwest WA.

The Federal government has announced that a migratory Brown Skua in southwest Western Australia has returned a suspected positive result for avian influenza. A second bird, a Giant Petrel, found in the area is also being tested.

If these cases are confirmed as H5 bird flu (H5N1), this would mean the virus has arrived on the Australian continent for the first time.
H5 bird flu (H5N1, a strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza) is an infectious disease that can affect wild, farmed and pet birds.

Large-scale outbreaks of H5 bird flu (H5N1) have killed millions of wild birds and tens of thousands of mammals around the world. Until now, Australia and New Zealand have remained free of the virus.

An outbreak of H5 bird flu in Australian birds could be catastrophic, as one in six Australian birds are already facing the threat of extinction.

BirdLife Australia has consistently advocated for robust monitoring and preparedness ahead of an outbreak.

We are watching this development closely and seeking further information. We will keep you updated as more details emerge.
If you find a sick or dead bird that you suspect could have Avian Influenza (H5N1), remember to:

❌ AVOID contact with sick or dead wildlife and their environment. Do not touch, move or approach the bird, and do not allow pets to touch or eat sick or dead wildlife.

📸 RECORD what you see, the location the animal was found, and take photos or video (if possible) without approaching the bird.

📞REPORT any unusual illness or death in wild birds and other wildlife immediately via the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.
