We are excited to be growing our conservation impact in central NSW. Here, a threatened ecological community – the Western Grey Box (Eucalyptus microcarpa ) woodland – supports endangered species including the Superb Parrot and iconic Pink Cockatoo eastern subspecies, more commonly known as the Major Mitchell Cockatoo (Lophochroa leadbeateri leadbeateri).
These beautiful birds have become endangered, with shocking population decline due to land clearing and habitat loss.
As fellow lovers of God’s natural world, you too will grieve the loss of species and habitats. For this reason we are inviting you to support our hope-filled and energising work that embodies God’s care and his restorative plans for his creation.
A Rocha volunteers, working with our partner organisation, have undertaken bird surveys each Winter and Spring since 2021. This year, our hope is to build on this important survey work by augmenting it with auditory monitoring.
This is where you can help.
By placing specialist acoustic devices in trees we will gain recordings in the months between physical bird surveys. With data analysis we hope this can tell us when the Pink Cockatoo and Superb Parrots use the area, and may identify other species of importance such as endangered micro bats.
With your help we look forward to this enterprise in 2026 – 2027 including extraction and analysis of the recorded data.
The information will contribute to highly valued national databases such as the Atlas of Living Australia. We can be part of filling in gaps of knowledge on species vulnerability and revegetation suitability.
Will you join us in this venture this year ?
