Landmark translocations, thanks to you
By Nikita Binetti | Development Associate - Annual Programs
In 2024, your support enabled the reintroduction of the Brushtail Possum to Central Australia. The return of the Brushtail Possum to this region was not just a conservation milestone, but also a spiritual and cultural homecoming for a species deeply embedded in the traditional stories and practices of the Ngalia Warlpiri/Luritja and Anmatyerr peoples.
You have also enabled AWC to develop a proposed release of Woylies outside the fence at Mt Gibson in 2025. AWC's science-informed approach ensures that the decision to proceed will be determined by the status of Woylies inside the fenced area. You are contributing to AWC's long-term objective of having populations of species, which are susceptible to feral predators, living outside of fenced safe havens.
Read more about these projects, and how you are making them possible, in the attached report.
Thank you for your support.

Returning Shark Bay Bandicoots to the Pilliga
By Nikita Binetti | Development Associate - Annual Programs
Thank you for supporting Australian Wildlife Conservancy’s (AWC) wildlife translocation program. AWC is a leader in threatened mammal translocations, employing the most extensive program in Australia. A robust, science-informed approach underpins the reintroduction of threatened or regionally extinct mammals into large, feral-free safe havens. The exclusion of feral predators from these enclosures gives threatened populations the opportunity to thrive - breeding and boosting populations without the threat of predation. The success of AWC’s complex and science-informed translocation program is essential in preserving and boosting populations of our most threatened species such as the Golden Bandicoot and Numbat.
Translocations are incredibly exciting; they are the culmination of months or years of planning and hopefully the beginning of a new secure population for species that require protection from foxes and cats. Learn more about the translocation of the Shark Bay Bandicoot by reading the attached report, and know that it is only thanks to you that this work is possible.

Your support: Australian wildlife translocations
By Nikita Binetti | Development Associate - Annual Programs
Thank you for supporting Australian Wildlife Conservancy’s (AWC) wildlife translocation program. AWC is a leader in threatened mammal translocations, employing the most extensive program in Australia. A robust, science-based approach underpins reintroduction of threatened or regionally extinct mammals into large, feral-free safe havens. The exclusion of feral predators from these enclosures gives threatened populations the opportunity to thrive - breeding and boosting populations without the threat of predation. Managing ten feral predator-free sanctuaries makes AWC has the largest establishment of safe havens in the country. This success of AWC’s complex and science-informed translocation program is essential in preserving and boosting populations of our most threatened species such as the Bridled Nailtail Wallaby and Golden Bandicoot. Thank you for making this possible.
The attached report holds some exciting news about our translocation program, along with photos of the work that you're helping to achieve. If you would like to contribute further to AWC's ambitious rewilding program, please consider a donation today.
