Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional, NSW tracks platypus and rakali populations with monitoring project

Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional, NSW Platypus Rakali Monitoring

In Progress

Volunteer monitors find tips on where to locate local platypus and rakali populations on the project's website. An online survey allows citizen scientists to record sightings including date, time, animal health, and location. The Platypus and Rakali Citizen Science Monitoring Program website includes an interactive map and monthly sighting statistics. Council officials use the data to monitor wildlife health, typically a bellwether for water quality issues and overdevelopment.
