Right now, woodland habitats for the critically endangered Swift Parrot are being cleared and degraded at a rapid rate, and this iconic bird is close to extinction. Among its favourite habitats are the tranquil eucalypt forests and woodlands of the South West Slopes bioregion of NSW, but years of extensive clearing has devastated vast sections of this magnificent landscape, and the last few remnants of habitat they rely on are declining, tree by tree.
We need to raise $366,000 to protect what’s left – before the Swift Parrot is gone forever.
Our Tarcutta Hills Reserve is located in this area and contains one of the largest remaining areas of intact Box-Gum Woodlands in Australia. It’s a rich foraging habitat for Swift Parrots, who feed on the nectar of the flowering trees. With your donation today, we'll improve the forest cover at Tarcutta and reconnect these precious habitats to protect the Swift Parrot and other species that rely on them.
Could go towards monitoring the Swift Parrot Population and other threatened bird species and quickly address new threats.
