Fenced Conservation Areas

Largescale conservation areas for wildlife 🌏❤

A critical strategy for reducing the impact of foxes and cats on native wildlife is the establishment of large feral predator-free areas, surrounded by conservation fences.

AWC is Australia’s leading proponent of conservation fencing. We have established a network of eight substantial feral predator-free areas across mainland Australia.

👉 9,570ha at Mallee Cliffs National Park (NSW)
👉 9,390ha at Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary (NT)
👉 7,870ha at Scotia Wildlife Sanctuary (NSW)
👉 7,840ha at Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary (WA)
👉 5,800ha at the Pilliga (NSW)
👉 1,090ha at Yookamurra Wildlife Sanctuary (SA)
👉 252ha at Karakamia Wildlife Sanctuary (WA)
👉 179ha at The Western River Refuge, Kangaroo Island (SA)

Wildlife translocation and reintroduction programs conducted inside these fenced reserves are proven to be the most effective way of keeping native fauna safe and ecosystems intact.
