Episode 12 celebrates the week that saw World Wildlife Day take to the social media platforms. While the United Nations' focus this year was on the importance of global forests and forest wildlife, we too dive into a story of one of our own forest-dwellers here in South East Queensland. The stunning Richmond Birdwing butterfly is a large insect that is now a rare sight in its home-range. Due to poisonous weeds and severe land-clearing, this dazzling emerald and jet-black butterfly has lost out in the past. But thanks to some inspiring business owners and a network of citizen scientists, the butterfly is making a slow comeback.
