Platypus thrive in healthy rivers, and in turn, a healthy platypus population is essential for the delicate river ecosystem. The Bacchus Marsh Platypus Alliance plan on restoring the local river system with the support of a community grant, which they received as part of this year’s Thriving Communities program.
A strong platypus population is essential for maintaining healthy river ecosystems. The Clean Site for Platypus project focuses on habitat restoration and water quality improvement, creating better conditions for platypus and other native wildlife that depend on clean, healthy waterways.
The Bacchus March platypus population contributes to the genetic diversity of platypus populations upstream and downstream, so supporting this population will help the entire platypus population to thrive.
