Meet the researcher
Dr Ana Gracanin is a conservation biologist at the Australian National University who’s passionate about Australia’s incredible wildlife. She’s leading this groundbreaking livestream, giving us a never-before-seen peek into the world of the Endangered greater glider. For the first time, we’re able to witness their unique behaviours in real time! By tuning in, you’re not just watching history unfold – you're also helping raise awareness to protect the greater glider and their forest homes.

Three ways to help protect greater gliders
Add your voice to strengthen nature laws
Did you know that greater gliders are just one of over 2,000 Australian species at risk of extinction? In 2022, this precious species was uplisted from ‘Vulnerable’ to ‘Endangered’.
Habitat destruction is leaving greater gliders with nowhere to go. Australia’s weak nature laws have allowed logging of critical forest habitat.
Add your voice and send a message to your local member of parliament, calling on them to strengthen weak nature laws and provide adequate funding to save threatened species like the greater glider.
Donate to support on-ground conservation projects
Greater gliders depend on healthy and thriving forests to survive. They make their homes in tree hollows which can take up to 250 years to form!
Your generous gift can help support critical on-ground conservation projects, including planting more trees, providing nest boxes and advocating for stronger nature laws to protect animals like greater gliders and their forest homes.
Learn more about greater gliders
Did you know the greater glider is the largest gliding marsupial in the world? They can swoop up to 100 metres in a single movement.
While they may hide humbly in the shadows of their more famous native housemates, these nifty creatures represent everything we love about Australia’s unique wildlife.
