Australia's Conservation and Wildlife Efforts

The Allan Labor Government in Victoria has committed $2 million towards non-lethal dingo controls and population monitoring, while continuing to protect dingoes in the north west region where their numbers are critically low. In a related conservation effort, the Wild Deserts project in New South Wales has successfully reintroduced native species such as bilbies and bandicoots to areas from which they had been extinct for over a century, thanks to efforts to control feral cat populations. Meanwhile, in Western Australia, a study has revealed the largest-known population of the rare night parrot, attributing their survival to the presence of cat-eating dingoes. Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory offers travelers a chance to connect with Australia's ancient landscapes and diverse ecosystems, including many rare species. Photographer Adam Ferguson's project 'Big Sky' captures the essence of life in the Australian outback, highlighting the deep connection between people and their environment.
