The Australian continent is a vast and astounding country with a rich diversity of fauna, flora and landscapes. 
Contributing to the preservation and management of many unique species and assemblages at the people-nature interface continues to be an absolute privilege.

One of the success stories is the recovery effort spearheaded by the Western Australian Department of Parks and Wildlife, in which breeding animals from threatened urban areas have been translocated to regional parks made safer by active feral animal control regimes.
