Dromaius novaehollandiae (Emu)
Rare, breeding resident.
ACT Parks are seeking a more detailed understanding of the ACT emu population in order to inform future conservation options. We need your help! Emus are an important part of our ecosystem and play an important part in ecosystem restoration and function. Please keep an eye out for Emus in the ACT and record your sightings on Canberra NatureMapr. Extra notes about quantity, life stage (adult, juvenile, chicks, eggs) breeding, feeding and other behaviour would be most useful for us to understand this special species.
Also if you see emus and are unable to get a photo and load to NatureMapr, please let us know at ENVNNP.ENVNNP@act.gov.au
