2003: Science finds conservation solutions

Research into the disappearing Gouldian Finch

With generous support from philanthropist Mike Fidler, AWC started its first major research program into causes of decline in threatened species, focusing on the endangered Gouldian Finch (Chloebia gouldiae).

The research findings revealed the critical importance of effective fire management for reversing the decline of the species. In turn, this highlighted the crucial link between scientific research and conservation land management for generating positive outcomes for Australia’s threatened wildlife.

Today, Mornington is one of the most important sites for Gouldian Finch populations in the Kimberley.
