Latest conservation news from the field

Latest conservation news from the field

In this edition, we showcase the unique New England Leaf-tailed Gecko, which was added to the Waulinbakh species inventory list in 2023, and was recently listed as endangered.   

We highlight the full impact of your support in one of our latest stories, sharing how we're bringing Australia’s most vulnerable native species back from the brink of extinction. 

Travel with us to see the wildflowers that have exploded in a blanket of colour at Mt Gibson, and learn about hare-wallabies, the mini macropods which have adapted to inhabit some of Australia’s most arid places.

Join us as we meet with AWC’s Regional Project Officer, Lauren Eather, who shares her lifelong passion for conservation and her work across our sanctuaries and partnership sites. 

We hope you enjoy reading what’s been happening at AWC.
