Show Notes
A Tiwi Islands birdwatcher, Craig Kurrujuwa Winston, captures the first public photos of the endangered Tiwi masked owl, pinjoma, in his backyard. This discovery, shared on iNaturalist, sparks online buzz and reveals older shots from the islands. For the community, the owl holds cultural significance, and Craig, an ecology student, sees this as a chance to protect the islands biodiversity, including raptors and rare marsupials, and potentially secure World Heritage status or establish a wildlife sanctuary.
