Issue 41: Conservation at scale

This edition of Wildlife Matters highlights the scale of AWC’s conservation work and the need to scale up further in order to meet the challenges facing Australia’s wildlife. Later this year AWC will mark thirty years since Martin Copley purchased Karakamia, our first sanctuary. Here, we look back on Martin’s legacy and thirty years of effective conservation.

We bring you news of our planned Curramore Wildlife Sanctuary extension and discuss our wildlife reintroduction and land management programs. We also detail exciting opportunities at the intersection of science and technology, with our pioneering feral cat research and the use of AI in the field. As we reflect on our past success we continue to look toward AWC’s future, bringing you our $3 million Matching Challenge to scale up our conservation efforts.

“Thirty years on, and the mission of AWC is as important as ever. There is much more to do if we are to prevent more species sliding into oblivion.” – Tim Allard
