2020 is off to a challenging start, but our hard work and progress continues in the field.
Despite drought, fire, floods and a pandemic, we remain committed to building upon the incredible achievements of 2019, made possible by our generous supporters.
Paving the way for an ambitious 2020, some truly incredible milestones were achieved in 2019 for Australia’s wildlife and habitat:
Our total conservation area (managed alone or in partnership) expanded to 6.5 million hectares.
A new and innovative partnership with Bullo River Station was established, delivering a positive return on investment for both a commercial pastoralist and wildlife.
9,570 hectares was protected by a new fence at Mallee Cliffs National Park, in partnership with the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service as part of the NSW Government’s Saving our Species program.
In partnership with NSW NPWS, Bilbies were restored to Mallee Cliffs National Park, a century after going regionally extinct – another project completed as part of the NSW Government’s Saving our Species program.
Additional Eastern Pygmy Possums and Brown Antechinus were released at North Head in Sydney, under our partnership with the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust.
2020 will also see our network of fenced feral-free refuges expand.
Plans are underway to construct a feral-free refuge in north Queensland to protect Northern Bettongs, while a 13.8 hectare fenced area has been constructed to protect endangered Kangaroo Island Dunnarts in partnership with Kangaroo Island Land for Wildlife and the Doube family.
Thank you for your support.
