A
new park to restore a wetland
Australia has a new national park. The newly created
Yarrahapinni National Park contains a large property that was bought
by the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife. The Foundation
purchased the property as part of a once drained wetland to open the
flood gates and let the water reclaim the land. The ambitious project
will restore a coastal wetland to provide habitat for a wealth of plants
and animals.
The
Year in Review 2007 has been a successful year for the protection of Australia's national parks and wildlife. Read about what we have achieved with the help of our supporters.

Green
and Golden Bell Frog haven discovered
A Foundation survey has discovered a safe haven for the endangered
frogs, where unique natural conditions fight off a fungal disease
that wipes out frogs around the world. The survey found a population
in Lake Meroo that seems to be untouched by this fungus, and scientists
suspect that the unique chemical make-up of the lake protects its
frogs.

Fostering
the protection of Australia's native animals and plants and cultural heritage
The
Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife raises funds from public
appeals, sponsorships, bequests and marketing alliances in order to grant
funds to conservation projects. 100% of funds raised from appeals for
specific purposes are allocated to suitable projects. General overheads
are funded through grants from the New South Wales Government through
its Environmental Trust and
the NSW National Parks and Wildlfe Service.
