✍️ Critically endangered helmeted honeyeaters have returned to Cardinia in south-east Victoria for the first time in 42 years, thanks to a conservation breeding program.
👉 Helmeted honeyeaters have returned to Cardinia in south-east Victoria after 42 years 👉 The species was released into the forest on Bunurong country after being captive-bred at the Healesville sanctuary 👉 The location at Cardinia has suitable habitat features for the helmeted honeyeaters 👉 Researchers will monitor the birds to see if they breed and establish a new wild population 👉 The species' habitat has been largely wiped out, and genetic diversity is a concern
