Happy #WorldWildlifeDay! Today is being celebrated globally under the theme “Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration” 🌱

This Special Issue shares stories of how everyone at @kingspark_wa is involved in conserving and restoring threatened species and ecosystems throughout Western Australia.

Congratulations to the #KingsParkScience Summer Scholars on completing their projects! ☀️🔬🌱 @kingspark_wa @Science_DBCA
We're proud to support these students and their exciting research through the Friends of Kings Park Fund. Come see what they each got up to 👇
Amanda Kelleher spent the summer learning techniques for plant tissue culture and cryopreservation 🧫
These are important techniques for ex situ conservation, which Amanda will be applying to further research on the Critically Endangered plant Grevillea scapigera.

For #ThreatenedSpeciesDay meet Grevillea scapigera 🌱
Once presumed extinct, this species has had an incredible 30-year journey of recovery, including #KingsParkScience research and local community action to grow and restore plants to secure sites near Corrigin.
