The overall outcome of the Keep Carnaby’s Flying – Ngoolarks Forever program is to empower the community to keep Carnaby’s flying (safeguard the species).
This innovative community action project helps save WA’s Carnaby cockatoos (Ngoolarks) from extinction. Ngoolarks are culturally significant to the people of the Whadjuk and Binjareb nations (Perth-Peel region). Kris Warren, from the Harry Butler Institute, and Barbara Hostalek, of the School of Veterinary Medicine play and integral role in the research.
The collaborations of Institutes, Aboriginal groups, local government authorities and community stakeholders will deliver a range of on-ground activities to protect and preserve the endangered birds.
The overall outcome of the Keep Carnaby’s Flying – Ngoolarks Forever program is to empower the community to keep Carnaby’s flying (safeguard the species) through providing food sources (and water and habitat) and mitigation of threatening processes for Carnaby’s cockatoos across the Perth-Peel region in the short, medium and long term.
