$100,000 awarded to help save our Aussie species – VIC

24 JULY 2017 – Two volunteer groups tackling the issue of endangered species were recently awarded project funding to reduce the impact of foxes and feral cats on local habitats, and to revegetate badly degraded land in Westgate Park, Victoria.

Destruction and encroachment of native habitats by humans, feral animals, and introduced plant species has contributed to 161 species now classified as endangered. Thanks to the volunteer efforts of thousands of Australians, there is hope for saving our treasured animals from extinction.
