Fairy Tern Conservation in South-West WA


 

The lives of these diminutive birds interact with many coastal management issues including the health of near-shore marine habitats, shoreline stability, changing sea-level, introduced weeds, feral animals and the behavioural interactions between people and wildlife.

Fairy Terns are probably threatened, or at least conservation dependent, and require dedicated species-specific management. Beyond that, however, the continued presence of these charismatic birds stands as both an indicator and a symbol of ecological sustainability in south-western Australia’s coastal zone.

 

 


 

Whether it’s in the rugged far north of the Kimberley, the lush forests of the South West, or along our beautiful coastline and unique marine environment, we advocate for the protection and conservation of all nature across our great state. Campaigning and lobbying alongside our members and thousands of like-minded individuals, we strive towards meaningful change at a local level and to tackle critical environmental challenges on a much larger scale.

Our purpose is ensuring the protection and restoration of Western Australia’s natural environment – not just for our own generation, but for generations to come. We started out from humble beginnings in 1967, focused on local conservation projects. Today, climate change and ecological collapse are the greatest threats to WA - so we run a focused set of programs tackling fossil fuels, biodiversity loss, promoting community-led citizen science and moving towards a bright, green economic future.

From boardrooms to bushland and everything in between, CCWA is a unique mix of campaign group, environmental advocacy group, hands-on conservation body and a forum for like-minded organisations and individuals.
