“I watched a healthy reef collapse in seven days,” said GSERF's Stefan Andrews, after surfacing from a dive at Port Victoria on the Yorke Peninsula’s west coast.

“What concerns me most is how much of this is happening out of sight and the public simply isn’t seeing the scale of what’s being lost.”

In the most cleared state in Australia, Victoria’s native wildlife needs our help after fires The Victorian fires burned though diverse environments across the state. Native animals suffered through heat and smoke, including thousands of dead flying foxes.

"As a wildlife ecologist and conservation expert, these fires bring an unwelcome but familiar mixture of deep sadness and intense frustration. As the climate gets hotter, such events will only become more likely and more severe."

My first post is about a scroll art book I’ve made about Eastern Banksia Scrub eavbrennan.art/2025/12/31/e...

I’ve started a new art project and blog called Anthropocene Naturalist. It’s about how I craft whimsy in my naturalist practice. Feeling excited about combining the incredible parts of my day job and my art in one spot. #naturalist #artbook #ecology

Look, I'm so happy that Dutton is gone and it's a Labor win rather than the LNP. But, to see Labor win such a majority and people turn their backs on the Greens and others pushing for *genuine* progress for social and environmental justice makes me very sad. Labor are neoliberal light. #AusVotes25

Last day of #ESAus2024 talks! My #EcologicalFashion is a bit more subtle today, but it's a nice throw to a project with @dieterhochuli.bsky.social (and heaps of others) where we run nature workshops in Western Sydney with the goal of getting young people out in nature

@eav.bsky.social'eav.bsky.social's poster rules

A few posters from #ESAus2024 that are interesting to me for graphic design reasons!

Great colours, well-realised comic, love the drawings!

Omg Eav did has done some awesome comic work. Here she discusses character design, and how you need to consider hobbits, and pet faces to make loveable animal designs #ESAus2024.
Check out her poster - 40, it's amazing

Spiky blue devils and chocolate lilies: Victorian grassland bursts with wildflowers after ecological ‘reset’ Careful management including weed control and a burn laid the groundwork for floral abundance in Boorhaman reserve

Fire ecology and biodiversity conservation are complex.

Some places might need fewer fires, fires at a different scale and/or fires at a different time of year (intensity/severity).

Some places we might need more fire, etc...

Hello! I haven’t posted here yet, but I wrote a book with my friend Dr Caitlyn Forster about visualising ecological ideas. It’s called ‘Graphic Ecology’ and I’m really proud of it.

a Palestine sunbird holds red poppies in their beak next to the text RIGHT TO EXIST. a Palestine crocodile (a subspecies of the Nile, now extinct thanks to occupying forces) guards a shining key next to the text RIGHT TO RETURN. a Palestinian olive tree, full of fruit is next to the text RIGHT TO RESIST. a Palestinian family of five, all embracing each other next to the text RIGHT TO REMAIN.

ever since learning that the national bird of 🍉, the p❤️lestine sunbird survived a name change attempt… & that occupiers drove a subspecies of crocodile endemic to the region to extinction… I couldn’t get this image out of my head. a ceasefire is the bare minimum. but let’s start there.
