Souther Brown Bandicoot - Wildlife Donation Australia - FNPW

Bandicoot SuperHighway Project

The Southern Brown Bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus) is facing extinction due to loss of habitat, encroachment of human development and predation from introduced foxes and cats. But there is hope. The Bandicoot Superhighway Project, a community-driven effort to protect these unique creatures, is restoring their habitat, recording new sightings, and strengthening our connection to nature.

Enhancing Biodiversity & Protecting Cultural Heritage at Torrens Island Conservation

Torrens Island Conservation, located 15km north-west of Adelaide, provides important habitat for a range of native fauna species, including 69 bird species of conservation significance, as well as cultural historical importance. The Kaurna People have lived in the Torrens Island area for thousands of years, but the woodland has degraded, and regeneration is not occurring naturally due to weed burdens and past failed revegetation attempts. FNPW have awarded Friends of Torrens Island a Community Conservation Grant to help restore the woodland.

Mount Schank Walking Track - Wildlife Conservation Grants NSW - FNPW

Mt Schank Walking Trail

When you visit South Australia's Mount Schank State Heritage Area you can enjoy a new stone path to the volcano rim. Before this new track, the existing stairs did not meet Australian Standards and visitors often climbed beside the stairs instead, which led to erosion and a slipping hazard.
