 Plant
& Wildlife Conservation
Although
Australia holds a sad world-record of species extinction over the past
two centuries, it is not too late to save our threatened plants and animals.
765 species are threatened
in NSW alone and many species, especially insects, invertebrates and plants
become extinct before even being scientifically described.
The Foundation raises
and directs funds towards projects that fight the major threats to our
species – habitat loss, introduced pests and lacking knowledge of
our wild creatures’ needs.
Our Threatened Species
funds are used for
- Research on why
many species are disappearing and what is needed to bring them back
from the brink of extinction
- Habitat regeneration
- Land acquisition
for habitat
- Pest eradication
- Short- as well
as long-term threatened species recovery projects
Our appeals raise
about one million dollars on average each year and have saved the Lord
Howe Woodhen, the Gould's Petrel and the Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby and
other unique species from extinction.
