The Problem
Extensive land clearing for agriculture, mining, and urban development is wiping out vital habitats. This destruction not only displaces native animals but also accelerates their decline.
Kangaroo populations continue to suffer after 200 years of being hunted and killed as "pests."
Little Penguin colonies have been devastated, declining by up to 94%.
And with Carnaby, Baudin and forest red-tailed black cockatoos already listed as endangered, their populations are also nosediving due to the loss of old-growth forests essential for nesting and feeding.
Despite strong community opposition and the critical role these animals play in ecosystems, destructive practices persist unchecked.
Put simply, our wildlife has been abandoned by the WA State Government. With species extinction on the rise, we cannot afford to lose any more of our native icons.
The Solution
Protecting our state’s precious wildlife requires bold and immediate action.
We must prioritise conservation over profit, and safeguard the future for our iconic species. It is time for proactive measures to protect wildlife habitats, and to reverse species extinction and biodiversity loss across the state.
Our Focus:
- Overhaul WA's threatened species legislation to ensure comprehensive protection for our native wildlife
- Immediately stop the clearing of old-growth forests for agriculture, mining and urban expansion
- Support large-scale native rewilding and revegetation projects, to combat the effects of land clearing and enable species to be safely reintroduced into secure habitats
- Reduce the alarming mortality rate of native species killed by 'road strike' by investing in wildlife-friendly infrastructure including wildlife corridors and fencing
