Western Australia’s mammal emblem, the numbat, has been downgraded from endangered to near threatened on the The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species.

Perth Zoo Science Program Leader, Dr Harriet Mills, told Oliver Peterson on 102.5 ABC Radio Perth Breakfast that the zoo’s Numbat Breeding Program made a major contribution to the recovery of the numbat.

“The recovery is due to a few different factors, including things like predator control,” Dr Mills said.

“The control of foxes and cats that we do, that is really important for numbat conservation. But our breeding program has meant that we've been able to have animals available for translocation and for establishing new populations.”

"We are really thrilled. I think all of the staff, not only in Perth Zoo Science, which is our team who work with the numbats directly, but also the whole of the zoo is just really proud that we've been able to make this contribution."

This will be such a perfect event 🌺🫶🏽

It's been a long time since I've said hello here or held a Girls Circle for that matter. Life this year has taken a slight course change for me, which I've been enjoying immensely. At the same time my work with girls is still incredibly important to me, especially as my daughter grows.

And I won't pretend that the teen years for us have been easy and I have it all sorted, because I so don't. 14 is not easy! I miss my girl as she becomes more independent and her friends become increasingly more important in her life than me.

So I put my big girl pants on and reminded myself that she's doing exactly what nature intended, especially for a strong, confident first-born daughter! And that is what has inspired me to create a beautiful Mums and Daughters retreat afternoon because I'm 100% positive I'm not the only mum in the Nambucca Valley feeling my precious girl pull away.

I've called it 'A Whimsical Afternoon of Connection' because that is the vibe I would love to welcome you into. The event is for girls aged 10 - 16 (approx) and their mums or female caregivers. My intention is for the afternoon to be light, joyful and fun, where we can get creative together and take home something beautiful, have a laugh, enjoy delicious cake and hot chocolate or maybe some hot soup around the fire and sprinkle a little magic and whimsy back into our lives. ✨️

Our girls need this just as much as we do (they just don't know it yet).

If you haven't already seen it, I'll pop the event link in the comments. I would love to have you and your girl join us.

Love
Greta ❤️

Ps. Does your daughter still let you take photos of and with her?? My girl gave me her permission to use this 🫶
