Ph.D. Candidate Tahlia Perry from Echidna CSI spoke to #CitSciOzOnline in Connections and Partnership about "Echidna CSI - Combining Citizen Science, Ecology and Molecular Biology for Conservation of Echidnas".
Echidnas are iconic egg-laying mammals that can be found anywhere in Australia. In order to gain more information about their distribution and biology and to help their conservation we established the Echidna Conservation Science Initiative (EchidnaCSI) at the University of Adelaide’s Environment Institute. To help continue this vital work, consider giving today.
