In responding to Suzie’s post defending wildlife rehabilitation I began to think again about the areas in which animal rights and animal welfare overlap with the field of conservation, and the ways in which they don’t. People would often express surprise that I, someone that cared about wildlife conservation, would eat meat.

The subject is one that comes up a lot in this blog and other bird blogs, the subject of cats and their effect on wildlife. As most people know cats, both feral and domestic, have a pretty big impact on wild birds and other wildlife, and the effect of mammals is particularly profound in New Zealand.

I decided to go to KPBL after my first day in Cairns and use the place as my base with which to explore the Atherton Tableland, a high area to the west of Cairns famous for its wildlife. I’ve been a fan of this particular peculiar Australian mammal my entire life, and more than any bird I wanted to see it here.

We do have a possum and a raccoon that live somewhere on the property. but that's pretty much it for mammals. I'm not out in the country either (despite the wildlife.) None of my neighbors have cats and I'm only aware of one dog owner blocks away. And I have found one small dead garden snake in the street.
