Australia has the worst mammal extinction rate in the world: a new model for conservation is needed to reverse the decline in our wildlife. AWC is the largest private (non-profit) owner of land for conservation in Australia, protecting endangered wildlife across 6.5 million hectares in iconic locations such as the Kimberley, the Top End, Cape York and the central deserts.
With around 80% of our staff based in the field, AWC is implementing a new model for conservation: delivering large-scale, practical land management (such as feral animal control and fire management), informed by world-class science.
Across our sanctuaries and partnership areas, AWC protects: - 72% of native mammal species (207 species) - 88% of native bird species (541 species) - 54% of native reptile species (523 species) - 54% of native amphibian species (127 species)

Proof that vegans and other animal activists are now rehabilitating the dingo to prevent it from being eradicated. Dingos are an intruduced species that have been here for a long time and naturalised. Wait 2000 years and there will be calls to save our native pigs - pathetic.
Wonderful video, very excited to hear of releases outside the fenced areas. I'm studying conservation at the moment but when I find a job I'll donate. Keep up the amazing work.
Awc need's to invest in water ponding on their lands to keep the country good and not declining ✌️the land can help the animals just as much as the animals can help the land water helps them both
Much better audio quality in this video. Thank you. And I learned of the Lamb Range, which I had not ever heard of before. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Liz and Ginger (pic left) in Victoria.
Hi Australian wildlife conservancy, I also have a youtube channel about nature.The name is nature girl.Or you could search ix8zy-nature girl.If you are comfortable could we collab?I make my videos on canva so collabing means telling me a idea
Interesting how kangaroos aren't affected by the sheep buy walibys are i call BS There is way more food and water than before and humans don't Hunt them anymore so why is sheep to blame for a controlled herbivore 😂😂😂 not rabbits the thing that used to be in plage proportions just because you don't see them anymore don't mean they weren't every where eating native animals out of house and home it's sad the lack of knowledge of the land before the extreme cat and fox and rabbit boom that wiped out lots of native animals 🤔😳🙄

Aboriginal people used to eat them in boom Times and managed the population in place you have these opportunities to spread and increase the population quick 🤔
Dr Ladd's part of the audio is atrocious. Even with closed captions, I couldn't understand much of what she was trying to tell us. This isn't the first such poor-audio video produced by AWC webinars. Would it be possible to tape-record the distant person simultaneously, and then dub that tape recording into the video when you put it on RU-vid? Cheers from Liz and Ginger (pic left) in Victoria.
Hi Liz, thanks for the feedback. Our field teams work in remote and isolated areas of Australia where internet connection is often slow or non-existent, so we feel fortunate to connect with them for these webinars! In saying that, we acknowledge the audio in this one was not good enough and are working on a solution to ensure our audience gets the best experience possible.
@@AustralianWildlifeConservancy Just to be clear about my suggestion, which may be unfeasible, I meant have a tape recorder at the remote location and then send the tape to AWC to dub in.
"Grey", not "Greg". Also, we have "WaUlinbakh" (Grey Gum Place) and "WaRlinbang" (Grey Gum), which is a bit sus. Thanks for the introduction. Looks like a fantastic place.
@@AustralianWildlifeConservancy How odd that one has U and the other R. Have to admit I know less than zero about aboriginal languages. Thank you for your reply.
My dear friend, money has become more precious than any life form on earth it self, In my heart and mind the greatest tragedy on earth is to loose a specie, that can never be brought back again. We are the most destructive life form on the planet.
Please ring or write your federal member or representative and urge them to do far more to halt the extinction crisis in Australia. We see what their real priorities are: capitalistic extraction and destruction of nature, supporting US wars and regional aggression and neoliberal austerity. All this must change and we the people must be the pressure that change requires. Our leaders will not act to save Australia's incredibly precious and unique wildlife of their own accord. Well done AWC for being part of what's required to reverse destructive policies.
