Wildlife Preservation Clarence Valley is dedicated to preserving wildlife and ecosystems in the Clarence Valley.
We act on a local scale to protect and return ecosystems to the commons, ensuring they are preserved and managed for their natural values in perpetuity.
In doing this, we promote local resilience through sustainable management of our natural places, resources and the environmental processes that our communities depend on.
By bringing community, science and culture together, we aim to ensure a resilient and diverse future for the next generations.
Help Us Save Threatened Species Habitat
Carl’s Cockatoo Corridor is Gulmarrad’s last stronghold for the nationally Vulnerable listed Glossy Black Cockatoos. In addition to being a critically important feeding and roosting ground for these marvellous birds, it is a corridor for our Coastal Emus and refuge for Rufous Bettongs, Feather-Tail Gliders and Squirrel Gliders to name a few. The old-growth, hollow-bearing trees and densely diverse flora are some of the last in the region.
In a time of drastic loss of biodiversity, we play a vitally important role in the
survival of our beloved wildlife, as they do in ours.

Wildlife Preservation Clarence Valley founding director Victor Ostrowsky speaks to the Valley Watch Inc committee regarding the earth system, the unfolding systemic crisis, habitat conservation within risk mitigation and the role of WPCV in promoting the resilience of the Clarence Valley.
We would like to specifically acknowledge the work of Johan Rockström, Arthur Keller, Will Steffen, Aurore Stephant and the 2024 Living Planet Report published by WWF.

2024 National Glossy Black Cockatoo Forum
We were delighted to take part in the inaugural National Glossy Black Cockatoo Conservation Forum where we gave an important update on the acquisition of Carl’s Cockatoo Corridor; a critical wildlife refuge in Gulmarrad threatened with subdivision and clearing, and spoke on some of the work carried out by the Glossy Squad Clarence Valley throughout the year.
We want to give a big thank you to the Glossy Black Conservancy for organising this amazing event, having us on the panel and for allowing us to share our segment publicly a little early to get this update out while it is up to date!
