Revegetation Inititatives
— Save the iconic bird
The Kangaroo Island Glossy Black-cockatoo faces a critical challenge due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Our ‘Save the Glossy’ initiative aims to address this pressing issue and secure a sustainable future for these unique birds.
— They are at risk
The population of the Kangaroo Island Glossy Black-cockatoo is dwindling, primarily because of increased land development and a reduction in their primary food source, Allocasuarina seeds. Your involvement in tree planting is crucial to counteract these threats and create a conducive environment for the Glossy Black-cockatoos to thrive.
— An unique species
Kangaroo Island has a special subspecies of the endangered Glossy Black-cockatoo that exists nowhere else. It is an endangered species known for its glossy black feathers and vibrant red tail bands. With a specialized diet of Allocasuarina seeds, these birds are integral to the island’s ecosystem.
— Planting for the KI Glossy
The Glossy Black-cockatoo habitat on the western end of the Island was significantly impacted by the summer 2019-2020 bushfires. You can make a difference by participating in our tree planting activities. By contributing to the expansion of their habitat, you directly support the survival of the Kangaroo Island Glossy Black-cockatoo. Join us in the ‘Save the Glossy’ initiative and play a vital role in ensuring a brighter future for these magnificent birds.

“Youth Environmental Education Program”
A portion of the donations was dedicated to launching an environmental education program for local youth. Through workshops and field trips, we’ve educated hundreds of students about the importance of conservation, fostering a new generation of environmental stewards.
“Wildlife Habitat Enhancement”
Your contributions directly supported the enhancement of wildlife habitats, focusing on areas crucial for endangered species. The result has been a noticeable increase in wildlife activity, indicating the positive impact on the overall health of the local fauna.
