Habitat and buffer zones …

A variety of mammals are popping up around The Cape currently … so keep an eye out for them while driving, walking and riding around the estate, particularly as the busy holiday season builds and more people are about. Along with the resident mob of Eastern Grey Kangaroo, Short-beaked Echidna are roaming and the presence of Common Wombat is evident. There has been a sighting of a Koala and a reported sighting of an endangered Southern Brown Bandicoot. These sightings highlight how nature and urban development can co-exist, the importance of building habitat, retaining safe buffer areas for the animals to retreat too and rest in safety, and by people behaving in a way that responsibly shares the environment for all living creatures.
 

One thought on “Habitat and buffer zones …”

  1. Dave,
    I had an enjoyable and informative read of Cape Chatter 125 with my morning coffee.
    Yes, habitat is critical; as are human values, attitude and behaviour.
    I am investigating Bush Heritage, which may be a worthwhile organization. Do you have a perspective?
    Thanks. Appreciated.
    Happy New Year in anticipation!
    Cheers,
    Lowie
