Hear from local ecologist John Harris about Manningham's threatened species and the challenges they face, including habitat loss, invasive species and climate change.

Manningham is home to 56 threatened animal species, including the Brush-tailed Phascogale, Grey-headed Flying-fox, Swift Parrot and Barking Owl.

There are 466 threatened plant species, 246 of which are critically endangered.

A species is considered threatened when it's at risk of extinction within a local area, even if it's not globally endangered.

About the presenter

John Harris (BASc, GDipEd) is the Director and Principal Zoologist/Ecologist at Wildlife Experiences. With a background in both environmental science and education, John has led fauna and flora surveys, environmental audits and sustainability programs across Victoria and beyond.

Manningham Environment Seminar Series - Threatened Fauna Species of Manningham

Spend an evening with local ecologist John Harris and learn about threatened fauna species that are found locally in Manningham

Manningham is home to a significant number of threatened species, both animals and plants, facing threats like habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change. The municipality has identified 56 threatened animal species, including some of national and state significance like the Brush-tailed Phascogale, Grey-headed Flying-fox, Swift Parrot, and Barking Owl. Additionally, there are 466 threatened plant species, with a substantial portion (246) considered critically endangered. #Swifft State Wide Integrated Flora and Fauna Teams

A species is determined to be threatened when its population within a specific geographic area (like Manningham or Victoria) is at risk of extinction, even if it's not globally threatened. This can happen due to factors like habitat loss, invasive species, or pollution within that area, making the species susceptible to local extinction.

Presenter: John Harris (BASc, GDipEd) - Director and Principal Zoologist / Ecologist

John Harris (BASc, GDipEd) is the Director and Principal Zoologist / Ecologist at Wildlife Experiences.

John has worked in both the environmental and education sectors, often combining the two.

Donate to the Manningham Community Fund

Donating to the Manningham Community Fund enables us to offer grants to charitable organisations to create a positive change in the community.

The fund is a separate legal entity from the City of Manningham.

It aims to raise much-needed funds to help community organisations with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR)* status that support people living in Manningham. It does this by encouraging tax-deductible donations, gifts and bequests that build up the fund corpus in perpetuity. Each year the fund earns income (in the form of interest) which can then be available to the community in the form of grants.

* A deductible gift recipient (DGR) is an entity or fund that can receive tax-deductible gifts.

Donate online

Online donations can be made on the Manningham Community Fund Donations page of the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation website.
