“Bandicam and Platycam let Victorians connect with our wonderful wildlife from wherever they are in the world,” the minister said in a statement. Victorian minister for the environment and climate action Lily D’Ambrosio said the state government was committed to stop the decline of native flora and fauna. The live cam has been set up following the set up of Platycam earlier this year, a live stream of platypus habitat in the Grange Burn in Hamilton. Last year, the Eastern Barred Bandicoot had its conservation status upgraded from “extinct in the wild” to “endangered”. In a statement, the government said the live stream was launched to bring greater awareness to the marsupial. The live stream can be viewed on the website or through the YouTube video below.

The bandicoot project has been launched in collaboration with the state government, GoverGlenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority (CMA) and Southern Grampians Shire Council.

Parklands Bandicoot Reserve has been set up to live stream the endangered species’ habitat in order to celebrate Australia’s biodiversity, with $17,000 allocated to the project. The Victorian government has launched a bandicoot live stream, called “Bandicam”, in the state’s south-west.
