"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 |
