Working in partnership with public and private land managers and key stakeholders including the National Malleefowl Recovery Group this project implements actions from the national recovery plan. In 2023-24 the team worked to protect over 48ha of high quality Malleefowl habitat on private property through stock exclusion and pest plant and animal control.
In partnership with Parks Victoria, 134,000ha of targeted fox baiting was undertaken in Little Desert National Park and Tooan State Park. Over 9,500ha of public and private land was surveyed to identify potential Malleefowl mounds to priortise and direct future conservation activities.
