“There would be no better way than saving one of our Glossy Black Cockatoo’s last stronghold, to send the message far and wide that, working together, vendors and communities can reach positive conservation outcomes, benefiting everyone. Let’s save this important habitat for generations to come.” – Victor

Pledge your support for the safe acquisition of Carl’s Cockatoo Corridor
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.
We invite you to help save this habitat for future generations.
