Keeping endangered wildlife safe at Wadderin
Project Successful!
Completed
Jun 2014
FAME helped the local community bring back endangered wildlife (including the Red-tailed Phascogale and the Woylie) to the central wheat belt of WA at Wadderin Sanctuary.
2010 – 2014
FAME was the major sponsor of the reintroduction of the Red-tailed Phascogale into Wadderin Sanctuary in 2010, since that time FAME has helped fund the introduction of the Woylie and contributed to the maintenance and upkeep of the sanctuary. Sanctuaries such as Wadderin are invaluable to conservation in Australia, they make it possible for threatened species to thrive in a natural environment free from the threat of foxes and feral cats.
