Milbi Turtles Struggle After Floods | Brisbane News
Description
Floods have devastated Queensland’s white-throated snapping turtles, locally known as milbi, by destroying nesting grounds and food sources—leaving just seven nests this year compared to 187 last year. With steep, unstable banks and washed-away vegetation, these rare river dwellers are struggling to survive, while WYLD Projects battles to repair damage and protect their fragile habitat. Upgrades to the Ben Anderson Barrage may help, but recovery will take years—unless urgent action restores the river’s balance before it’s too late.
