A conservation group in New South Wales is celebrating a bumper baby boom — and it's all thanks to turtles.
Aussie Ark, based at the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby, has pulled off its most successful breeding season ever, hatching a record-breaking 172 endangered freshwater turtles. It’s the first time all three species in the charity’s care — the Hunter River, Bells, and Manning River turtles — have laid and hatched eggs in the same season.
In what experts are calling a “nationally significant” milestone, dozens of baby turtles have emerged from their eggs under the watchful eye of staff, who couldn’t be more thrilled.
“The egg tally this season is so EGG-citing!” Conservation Ark Operations Manager Billy Collett said. “48 Hunter River Turtle eggs, 39 Bells Turtle eggs and a whopping 85 Manning River Turtle eggs. That’s double the eggs from last season.”
The hatchlings are being raised in a state-of-the-art facility, complete with specially designed nesting platforms and sandboxes that mimic their natural environment. The climate-controlled aquaria have proven to be a haven for the reptiles, whose wild counterparts face increasing threats from predators like foxes, pigs and feral cats.
“Out in the wild, these poor turtles don’t stand a chance,” said Collett. “Predators dig up nests and eat the eggs before they even get a shot at life. We’re giving them that shot.”
Once strong enough, the baby turtles will be released back into the wild rivers they call home — a crucial move for the survival of these rare and remarkable Aussie species.
The conservation win comes as native turtle populations continue to plummet across the country due to habitat destruction, introduced species, and trampling by cattle.
“This work we’re doing at Conservation Ark is absolutely critical for the survival of these species,” Mr Collett said. “We will *** Local Caption *** 47138421

FEATURE - Die Naturschutzgruppe Aussie Ark plant 15 vom Aussterben bedrohte Tüpfelbeutelmarder in Bannockburn in der Nähe von Nowra freizulassen
Ten endangered Eastern Quolls have successfully passed health checks in preparation for their release back into the wild.
The conservation group Aussie Ark led the health assessments ahead of an upcoming ‘wild’ release on the NSW south coast. In partnership with the University of Sydney and Sydney Zoo, Aussie Ark plans to release 15 Eastern Quolls into Bannockburn, a 68-hectare feral-proof site near Nowra. This area was designed to replicate the 400-hectare Barrington Wildlife Sanctuary, known as ‘the Ark,’ which serves as a stronghold for numerous endangered species.
This marks the first time Eastern Quolls will be released at Bannockburn - a significant conservation milestone for a species that is extinct on mainland Australia. Intensive post-release monitoring, including VHF radio transmitters, camera traps, and cage trapping, will track how the quolls adapt and interact with their new environment.
The ten quolls from Aussie Ark - six females and four males - were born and raised at the sanctuary, giving them valuable survival skills for life in the wild. Yet, every precaution has been taken to ensure their readiness.
Before their release, Aussie Ark Operations Manager Dean Reid and Somersby Animal Hospital Head Vet Dr Robin Crisman performed detailed health checks on the quolls, assessing their teeth, weight, and overall condition, and confirming that the females had inactive pouches. All ten quolls passed with flying colours and are now ready for their new home.
“I feel so lucky and blessed to be able to handle these animals and work with them,” said Dr Crisman. “There are a lot of people who don’t even know what an Eastern Quoll is! And to be involved with this project with Aussie Ark, and have the ability to help repopulate an endangered species, is phenomenal.”

Ten endangered Eastern Quolls have successfully passed health checks in preparation for their release back into the wild.
The conservation group Aussie Ark led the health assessments ahead of an upcoming ‘wild’ release on the NSW south coast. In partnership with the University of Sydney and Sydney Zoo, Aussie Ark plans to release 15 Eastern Quolls into Bannockburn, a 68-hectare feral-proof site near Nowra. This area was designed to replicate the 400-hectare Barrington Wildlife Sanctuary, known as ‘the Ark,’ which serves as a stronghold for numerous endangered species.
This marks the first time Eastern Quolls will be released at Bannockburn - a significant conservation milestone for a species that is extinct on mainland Australia. Intensive post-release monitoring, including VHF radio transmitters, camera traps, and cage trapping, will track how the quolls adapt and interact with their new environment.
The ten quolls from Aussie Ark - six females and four males - were born and raised at the sanctuary, giving them valuable survival skills for life in the wild. Yet, every precaution has been taken to ensure their readiness.
Before their release, Aussie Ark Operations Manager Dean Reid and Somersby Animal Hospital Head Vet Dr Robin Crisman performed detailed health checks on the quolls, assessing their teeth, weight, and overall condition, and confirming that the females had inactive pouches. All ten quolls passed with flying colours and are now ready for their new home.
“I feel so lucky and blessed to be able to handle these animals and work with them,” said Dr Crisman. “There are a lot of people who don’t even know what an Eastern Quoll is! And to be involved with this project with Aussie Ark, and have the ability to help repopulate an endangered species, is phenomenal.”

Instabil: Das antarktische Schelfeis kann sich infolge von Schmelzwasser stark biegen -- ()
Surface lakes are causing Antarctic ice shelves to 'bend' and buckle under the massive weight of meltwater, warns new research. See NATIONAL story NNICE. The filling and draining of meltwater lakes has been found to cause a floating Antarctic ice shelf to flex, potentially threatening its stability. Meltwater lakes can contain water weighing 50,000 to two million tons each, and that pushes downward on the ice, creating an indent. If the lake drains, this indent pops back up. If the resultant stress is large enough, the ice surrounding the lake basin weakens, and may start to break, the researchers predict. A team of British and American researchers, led by Cambridge University scientists, has measured how much the McMurdo ice shelf in Antarctica flexes in response to the filling and draining of meltwater lakes on its surface.

Aussie Ark, based at the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby, has pulled off its most successful breeding season ever, hatching a record-breaking 172 endangered freshwater turtles. It’s the first time all three species in the charity’s care — the Hunter River, Bells, and Manning River turtles — have laid and hatched eggs in the same season.
In what experts are calling a “nationally significant” milestone, dozens of baby turtles have emerged from their eggs under the watchful eye of staff, who couldn’t be more thrilled.
“The egg tally this season is so EGG-citing!” Conservation Ark Operations Manager Billy Collett said. “48 Hunter River Turtle eggs, 39 Bells Turtle eggs and a whopping 85 Manning River Turtle eggs. That’s double the eggs from last season.”
The hatchlings are being raised in a state-of-the-art facility, complete with specially designed nesting platforms and sandboxes that mimic their natural environment. The climate-controlled aquaria have proven to be a haven for the reptiles, whose wild counterparts face increasing threats from predators like foxes, pigs and feral cats.
“Out in the wild, these poor turtles don’t stand a chance,” said Collett. “Predators dig up nests and eat the eggs before they even get a shot at life. We’re giving them that shot.”
Once strong enough, the baby turtles will be released back into the wild rivers they call home — a crucial move for the survival of these rare and remarkable Aussie species.
The conservation win comes as native turtle populations continue to plummet across the country due to habitat destruction, introduced species, and trampling by cattle.
“This work we’re doing at Conservation Ark is absolutely critical for the survival of these species,” Mr Collett said. “We will *** Local Caption *** 47138414

Instabil: Das antarktische Schelfeis kann sich infolge von Schmelzwasser stark biegen -- ()
Surface lakes are causing Antarctic ice shelves to 'bend' and buckle under the massive weight of meltwater, warns new research. See NATIONAL story NNICE. The filling and draining of meltwater lakes has been found to cause a floating Antarctic ice shelf to flex, potentially threatening its stability. Meltwater lakes can contain water weighing 50,000 to two million tons each, and that pushes downward on the ice, creating an indent. If the lake drains, this indent pops back up. If the resultant stress is large enough, the ice surrounding the lake basin weakens, and may start to break, the researchers predict. A team of British and American researchers, led by Cambridge University scientists, has measured how much the McMurdo ice shelf in Antarctica flexes in response to the filling and draining of meltwater lakes on its surface. / action press *** Local Caption *** 29426785
