We have now raised the funds to purchase Eungedup Wetlands!  On behalf of Wilson Inlet Catchment Committee, Birdlife Australia, Gondwana Link, Denmark Bird Group, Conservation Council of WA, Wetlands Conservation Society and Georgina Steytler, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for making this a reality.  You have all played a part in protecting a precious wetland and its resident wildlife.  
​
Exciting times ahead as we now move into the second stage which involves raising funds to design and construct an eco-wetland interpretive centre in the corner of the properties. The focus will be to engage students through the school systems to explore wetland ecology, monitoring and management.  Students will be able to learn and participate in wetland ecology and management.  They will be able to visit and potentially camp at the wetland centre to work alongside us, carrying out on ground works and monitoring.  Once construction of the wetland centre is complete the wetland will be covenanted.

WICC is raising funds to purchase Eungedup Wetlands. 
Nestled between Denmark and Albany on the south coast of Western Australia, these remarkable wetlands provide a unique opportunity to preserve endangered wildlife...

"This is one of the best wetlands I have ever seen. It is critical that we conserve it for our future."​
Michael Morcombe AM, Author Field Guide to Australian Birds

"The Eungedup Wetlands give one hope for the future. As south-western Australia dries due to climate change, such rare, magnificent wetlands become critical to conservation of birds like the Australasian Bittern."
​Professor Stephen Garnett, Professor of Conservation and Sustainable Livelihoods, Charles Darwin University
​“Eungendup is an exceptional part of an incredibly significant wetland complex, not just for threatened species like the Australasian Bittern but for waterbird populations on a much larger scale. Conserving the site will significantly improve waterbird resilience to increasing external pressures in the south west.”
Paul Sullivan, BirdLife Australia CEO

"The Wetlands Conservation Society of WA would like to see these important wetlands being purchased for conservation."
​Professor 
Philip Jennings, President of Wetlands Conservation Society
