🖤 Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre Walk – Kaarakin, Martin

Join members of the Darling Range Branch as we visit the Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre at Kaarakin plays a vital role in protecting some of Western Australia’s most iconic and endangered wildlife. Located in the Perth Hills, the Centre is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation of black cockatoos and other native species impacted by climate change, habitat loss, and urban development.

Volunteers at the Centre currently care for around 200 animals, many of which would otherwise be at serious risk of injury, displacement, or extinction. These passionate volunteers work year-round to provide expert care, safe rehabilitation, and long-term conservation solutions for wildlife that have lost their natural homes.

During this guided walk, participants will learn how the Centre supports black cockatoos by recreating and protecting essential nesting, foraging, and roosting sites—critical habitats that have been severely reduced or degraded over recent decades due to urban sprawl and land clearing. The walk offers valuable insight into the daily work of the volunteers and the innovative strategies being used to help these birds survive and thrive.

Human activity has had a massive and detrimental impact on black cockatoo populations in recent decades. Habitat loss and fragmentation remain the greatest threats facing all three species of black cockatoos in south-west Western Australia. This event provides an opportunity to better understand these challenges, learn what is being done to address them, and discover how individuals and communities can contribute to conservation efforts.

✨ A meaningful and educational experience for nature lovers, conservation supporters, and anyone passionate about protecting Western Australia’s unique wildlife
