Project description

Two years after the worst bushfires in history tore through the region, conservationists are working together with land carers battling to save seven endangered butterflies, found only in East Gippsland. Researchers and ecologists from the Threatened Species Conservancy (TSC) and Melbourne University are launching a drive to monitor dwindling populations and protect rare habitat for species including southern sedge-darter, large ant-blue and two-spotted grass-skipper.
