A citizen science program by the Tasmanian Land Conservancy
WildTracker is a tool for private landholders to upload, tag, and share camera trap images of Tasmania’s exceptional wildlife. These records help build the evidence needed for effective conservation research and a clearer understanding of how our natural environment is changing.
National Threatened Species Day
September 7th marks the date the last known Tassie tiger (thylacine) died in captivity at Hobart Zoo in 1936.
In recognition of the day, revisit our short article Hunt for the thylacine: Tasmania’s camera trap pioneers, available on the WildTracker stories page among many others, and on the TLC Blog.
Thanks to everyone who completed our recent survey! The winner of the camera prize will be announced on TLC social media shortly.
Help us monitor the state of Tasmania’s wildlife
Taking part in WildTracker is a great way to keep track of the biodiversity on your property, from farms and bush blocks to restoration plantings and urban backyards. By contributing records from private land, you help fill a major gap in biodiversity knowledge — where many threatened species live and pressures are often greatest.
