World Echidna Day

TED-dECHs 2026 Workshop

Needles in a Haystack

A day to learn about echidnas and the places they call home. We are bringing together the story, community interest and conservation work under one invitation: Learn something.

Contribute something.

Protect something.

Thermal Ecology Drones: Detection of Echidnas & Conservation of Habitats.

Join us on Friday 4 December, in Brisbane or online, to explore how thermal drones could help detect echidnas, address research gaps and support conservation through collaboration.

Draft agenda/proposed outcomes:

An illustrated echidna mystery is in development. Become the fifth Echidna Detective, follow the clues with four young investigators and discover why protecting the “haystack” matters.
