In recognition and support for the
International Year of the Forest, Tiwest Night Stalk is calling you to action and inviting you to explore your local ‘forests’ and record the number of faunal species you see.
Tiwest Night Stalk runs from 1 September to 16 October and aims to get members of the community out into nature to do some spotlighting for wildlife.
Tiwest Night Stalk is easy, fun and something everyone can do. All you need is a torch and a copy of the
Spotter’s Log.
Choose a night or number of nights between 1 September and 16 October and spotlight in your local forest/bushland. Record all of the mammals, birds, bats, reptiles and frogs that you find and then send your Spotter’s Log to Perth Zoo or email it in via the online form.
The information will be collated and made available online for interested members of the community. Particularly interesting sightings of species are also sent to conservation agencies. This regular monitoring can help the community realise which species live in the various habitats of Australia and in turn we hope will encourage conservation action to help protect and preserve the important biodiversity that surrounds us.
Tiwest Night Stalk is a great way to become involved in community conservation action and to learn about our native animals, their habitat and their threats.
