At certain times of the year, a group of volunteers can be found roaming Canberra’s bush reserves bearing raw chicken carcasses – all in the name of saving and studying the small local population of goannas.
Of particular interest to the volunteers is the Rosenberg’s monitor – only seven are known to be living in the area, and their survival in an environment so close to Canberra’s city is uncertain.
But, armed with bait and cameras taking millions of photos, local ecologists and volunteers hope to give Canberra’s goannas a chance.
Today on the show, Suzannah Marshall Macbeth, with her piece from a recent edition of The Saturday Paper, ‘Saving Canberra’s goannas’.
