Nicolas worked as camera and director on this assignment, photographing and filming the greater gliders, the conservation detection dog and the people working to find and protect them. Greater gliders are among the world’s largest gliding mammals, listed as Threatened. They live high in the canopy and move at night, so the fieldwork drew on a detection dog trained to pick up the scent of their scats.
The project brought together four South East Queensland councils, landowners and researchers, run by Land for Wildlife South East Queensland and James Cook University as part of the National Environmental Science Program’s Resilient Landscapes Hub.
