Wildlife enthusiasts across Queensland and the world came together this September to celebrate and learn more about one of Australia’s most unusual animals, the echidna. Two workshops, held in the Lockyer Valley (6 September) and at Ipswich’s Denmark Hill Reserve (13 September), showcased the latest research, international collaborations and community efforts to conserve these monotremes.| Wildlife Queensland
